The Saudi Arabian football scene is buzzing. A fresh chapter has officially begun for Al Nassr, and the excitement is clear. On Thursday, Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus led his very first training session with the club.
This wasn’t just any practice. Much to everyone’s surprise, most of the team’s international stars were already there. This early arrival signals a strong start for the new season.
Some big names wasted no time getting to work. Midfielders Otávio and Marcelo Brozović were present. Defender Aymeric Laporte and forward Sadio Mané also showed up. They all went through medical and physical tests right away. After that, they stepped onto the field for their first official workout under Jesus.
Of course, a few key players will join the squad a little later. Captain Cristiano Ronaldo is still due to arrive. The French player Simakan is also expected soon. Six Saudi Arabian players, fresh from their Gold Cup duties, are also on their way.
These players will all link up with the team this Sunday. That’s when Al Nassr heads to Austria. They will hold a crucial training camp there to prepare for the upcoming challenges.
