Despite Injury For 6 Weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Teammate Forced Himself as He Prepares Comeback vs Phillipe Coutinho’s Al Duhail

Al-Nassr has been in remarkable form this season. The Saudi giants already have the Arab Club Champions Cup to their name. They defeated their arch-rivals Al-Hilal 2-1 in a thrilling game with nine men. A big part of their success is attributed to club captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been undeniable on the turf. However, despite, their impressive start, they are 3rd in the league. One reason for this is the absence of their superstar midfielder.

The star will look to impress the Al-Nassr faithful after being sidelined with an injury. Despite his knock, he is looking to prepare himself for the crucial fixture against Philippe Coutinho’s Al-Duhail.

Al-Nassr superstar midfielder eyes a return after injury

Al-Nassr midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is keen on returning to play after missing the recent games through an injury. The Croatian is an integral part of the club’s midfield. Despite his injury, Brozovic pushed extremely hard in this challenging period only for the sake of his club. The former Inter Milan star’s injury update will be announced today itself. It looks likely that the Croatian International will be in the match-day squad against Coutinho’s Al-Duhail. But he won’t play for 90 minutes as he is recovering from an injury.

Marcelo Brozovic’s return would be highly beneficial for Al-Nassr. The veteran played an enormous part in Inter Milan’s road to the Champions League final last season. As Al-Nassr could go for the treble this year and Brozovic returning to form quickly will be essential if they aim to secure the AFC Champions League and the Saudi Pro League titles.
