Mane’s Fitness Test: Nassr Gears Up for a League Comeback
25 March 2026
Club keeps preparing for resumption.
Training Update
Al-Nassr kept training during the current international break, preparing for the Roshan Saudi League and AFC Champions League resumption next month soon.
Mané's Health Check
According to Al-Riyadhia, the club's coaching staff, led by Portuguese manager Jorge Jesus, decided to conduct a test on Senegalese winger Sadio Mane to gauge his recovery.
Mane missed the clash with Al-Khaleej on March 14 due to an ankle injury, ruling him out of the Senegal squad's camp ahead of the upcoming qualifiers.
Recovery Timeline
The report notes the tests the Senegal winger will undergo will determine whether he can join training immediately or wait until Sunday if he hasn't fully recovered completely yet.
Schedule and Rest
Players at Al-Nassr will have a day off on Saturday after a friendly against Al-Anwar from the First Division, played on Friday, with training set to resume on Sunday.
Martínez's Situation
Spanish defender Inigo Martinez will not be among the players taking a rest, as he remains on a medical program at the club's premises due to his ongoing injury.
Inigo Martinez left the latest Nassr match against Al-Khaleej six minutes before the end of normal time, journalists reported his injury.
Return Hopes
Nassr fans hope Mane and Martinez will return when the team resumes on April 3, hosting Al-Najma at Al-Awwal Park in the 27th round of the Roshan League.
If rehab had standings, Mane would be leading the table in heroic patience.
As for Martinez, if injury were a playlist, his would be stuck on repeat—but the chorus says comeback.
