In a hard-fought encounter on Matchday 27 of the Roshen Professional League, Jeddah United managed to secure a narrow 1–0 victory against Al-Hazm. However, the triumph was overshadowed by yet another setback for the team, particularly concerning their Moroccan striker, Youssef El-Nesyri. After making his return to the pitch following a recent injury, El-Nesyri's performance fell short of expectations, dampening hopes for a crucial contribution in the match.
According to reports from the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah, El-Nesyri sustained an injury during the clash with Al-Hazm, prompting the club to schedule a medical examination for him on Saturday. The results of this examination will determine the extent of his injury, as well as the anticipated duration of his absence from the squad. This news is particularly concerning for Al-Ittihad, who are already grappling with inconsistent results and a noticeable deficiency in their attacking options.
Since transferring to Al-Ittihad during the recent winter transfer window, El-Nesyri has struggled to find his form, managing to net only four goals and providing a solitary assist over the course of ten matches in various domestic and international competitions. His absence could exacerbate the ongoing crisis within the team, which continues to seek stability and effectiveness on the field. The situation poses significant challenges for Al-Ittihad as they look to navigate through the remainder of the season while hoping for a swift recovery of their key players.
