The two players could be starting their first game in the 2025/2026 Saudi Pro League.

More Details 

Al Nassr take on Al Ittihad tonight at the Inmaa Stadium in a game week 4 of the Saudi Pro League.



Two players are in line to make their first league starts of the season as reported by Middle East.

Jorge Jesus is tilting towards reinstating last season’s first choice goalkeeper Bento Krepski in goal for the Clasico.

Bento had lost his starting spot under Jesus to Nawaf Al Aqidi following his horrendous showing at the Super Cup.

He has since been limited to cup games but could now be reinstated in the league starting from tonight’s game.

The Saudi Arabian midfielder is ahead of Angelo Gabriel in the pecking order for the Saudi Clasico against Al Ittihad.

If reports are accurate, the two players will be seen in the league from the beginning, the first time under the Portuguese manager.
