LD: YAHYA – The right winger was already converted for the last game they played due to the team's injuries and he did not do a bad job, so it is assumed that he will be the one chosen to occupy that position again.
DFC: LAJAMI – The center back joined the team in 2020, and the truth is that since then he has been performing at a good level. He is skilled at stealing and has good vision to initiate attacks from his side, making him an important asset for Luis Castro.
DFC: LAPORTE – The Spanish international is the leader of Al Nassr's defense. He is characterized by being a central defender with excellent reading of the game, ability to get the ball played, strong in one-on-one and precise in clearances.
LI: TELLES – The Brazilian full-back has great ability to project himself into the attack. Telles provides depth due to his ability to overwhelm the wing and precise crosses into the area.
MC: BROZOVIC – The brain in that center of the field. All the balls pass through the Croatian in transition, and he has great tactical reading, as well as the ability to cut off rival plays and distribute the game with precision.
MC: OTÁVIO – The Portuguese offensive midfielder is the link between the midfield and the attack. He provides great dynamism and technical quality, with the ability to filter balls and create dangerous situations. Without a doubt key in this team.
