Al Nassr’s first football team will play their final pre-season friendly match at their current training camp in Portugal on Sunday evening against Portuguese team Porto, featuring only six foreign players.
Exclusive sources informed that the team’s coach, Portuguese Luis Castro, will rely on fellow countryman Otavio Monteiro, Brazilians Anderson Talisca and Alex Telles, Croatian Marcelo Brozovic, and Senegalese Sadio Mane in the starting lineup for the friendly match.
Participating in Al Nassr’s ongoing camp in Portugal are Ivorians Ghislain Konan and Seko Fofana, who have returned from loan spells.
During this external camp, Al Nassr is missing their legendary captain, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, and Spanish defender Aymeric Laporte, as they are on their annual leave after participating with their national teams in the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament. Additionally, Brazilian goalkeeper Bento is out due to a muscle injury sustained during training four days ago, which will sideline him for approximately two weeks.
In conclusion, Al Nassr’s preparations for the upcoming season are well underway, despite the absence of key players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Aymeric Laporte. The team’s final pre-season friendly against Porto will be a crucial test, showcasing the talents of their foreign players and providing valuable experience for the squad.
