Shattered Advantage: Harrowing Injury Clouds Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League Win

Injury casts a shadow over Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League win

The Al Nassr vs Al Okhdood match, played Saturday at Al-Awwal Park in the 11th round of the Roshen Saudi Pro League, ended with a dramatic injury to one of the players.

Khaled Nari of Al Okhdood suffered a heavy blow after a hard challenge by Nawaf Al Aqidi, the Al Nassr goalkeeper, in the first half, forcing him to leave the field.

Al Okhdood announced in an official medical bulletin that Nari sustained a pneumothorax in his right lung as a result of fractures to ribs four, five and six.

The club added that he will remain in hospital for 48 hours for monitoring before a normal discharge and return home.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr had already secured a large 3-0 victory over Al Okhdood, lifting their tally to 30 points at the top of Roshen standings and marking the best-ever start by winning the first 10 games of the season.
