Oman today_ Al-Nassr and Esteghlal are set to clash in the knockout stage of the Asian Elite League. The first leg will take place next Monday at Azadi Stadium, with the return match scheduled a week later in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Nassr will be missing three players for this match: Otávio, Sultan Al-Ghanam, and Abdullah Al-Khaibari, who are unavailable due to injuries or other issues.
The status of Aymeric Laporte remains uncertain. The result of the Spanish defender’s medical test will be announced soon, but his chances of missing this game are quite high. Laporte sustained an injury in Al-Nassr’s recent match against Al-Wahda, which ended in a 2-0 victory for the team, forcing him to leave the game early.
Before their showdown with Esteghlal, Al-Nassr is set to face Al-Orouba in the Saudi league on Friday night.
