Portuguese Al-nassr coach Luis Castro fears the loss of important elements at the al-itthad summit, before he faces the deal.
Al-Nassr hosts his counterpart tomorrow’s deal in the 18th round of the Saudi Professional League (SBA), before becoming a guest at the al-itthad on Tuesday in a postponed match of round 17.
Castro does not want to lose his players due to a suspension for the accumulation of cards, while Senegalese Sadio Mane is the leading player threatened with missing from the al-itthad summit if he receives a fourth yellow card against the al-ettifaq.
According to the sports newspaper, Castro told his players in an art lecture: “I hope no player gets any color card, everything we have to play the game and not think about the next one, and we now have about 30 players ready on the various lines.”
Despite the threat of suspension, Castro intends to rely on his core players, without excluding any players for fear of cards, according to “Sports.”
Al-Nassr players are scheduled to enter camp on Thursday evening in a hotel, in preparation for the agreement match, as opposed to previous games in which players were attending the hotel after the afternoon prayer on the same day of the match.
The change comes as the al-ettifaq match takes place at 06:00 pm tomorrow night of Mecca time.
Al-Nassr is second in the Saudi League table with 37 points, 10 ahead of Al-Hilal, who played one game more.
