Al Jazeera - Issa Al-Hakami:

Australian Ange Postecoglou, the head coach of Al-Nassr's first football team, limited the players to a recovery session upon arriving in Lisbon on Monday to set up a preparatory camp that will continue until August 5. The team's flight was delayed from Sunday to Monday due to administrative issues with flight arrangements that were not completed, prompting the team to return and postpone travel to Monday.

Starting Tuesday, the team will train in morning and evening sessions, and on Wednesday they will begin their friendly matches against Benfica B. Meanwhile, Spanish defender Martinez will join the team next week, as the medical staff preferred that he remain in Riyadh to complete the first stage of his treatment after suffering a muscle injury in the hamstring during the initial preparatory phase.
