Moroccan and Cameroonian joined in the foreign quartet eligible for the competition’s resumption by Jaloliddin Masharipov of Uzbekistan and the Brazilian Talisca Ali Khaled Al-Nassr’s star forwards Abderrazak Hamdallah of Morocco and Vincent Aboubakar of Cameroon have been selected as two of the club’s four foreign players eligible for the 2021 AFC Champions League knockout stages, starting with the clash against Tractor of Iran on Monday. The team’s Brazilian coach, Mano Menezes, completed the overseas quartet with the Uzbek Jaloliddin Masharipov and the Brazilian Talisca. However, despite making the squad for the remainder of the competition, Hamdallah will miss the match against Tractor through suspension, as will the Saudi duo of Ali Lajami and Abdullah Madu. Al-Nassr’s start to the 2021-22 Saudi Professional League season has been inconsistent, with an opening day 4-1 home win over Damac followed by a 2-1 loss away to Al-Faisaly. In the club’s last match before the international break, Al-Nassr pulled off a miraculous 3-1 win after trailing Al-Taawoun by one goal going into stoppage time. To the delight of their disbelieving fans, Al-Nassr not only managed to equalize through Aboubakar with a stunning curling effort in the 92nd minute, but they completed the turnaround with two goals from Hamdallah — a penalty on 98 minutes and a solo run and finish 13 minutes into stoppage time.
