# Al Nassr's Latest Injury Update: Sadio Mané Out for the Next Few Weeks
Al Nassr has confirmed that star forward Sadio Mané will be sidelined for the next few weeks due to a minor injury. The news comes as a blow to the club, who are currently in the thick of the Saudi Premier League title race.
In a statement released by the club, it was revealed that Mané sustained the injury during Al Nassr's 2-1 victory over Al Shabab at the weekend. The exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, but it is understood that the 30-year-old forward will require a period of rest and rehabilitation before he can return to full fitness.
Head coach Miguel Cardoso expressed his concern over Mané's injury but remains optimistic about the team's ability to cope without him. "Sadio is a key player for us, and his absence will be felt, but we have a deep squad with talented players who can step up," Cardoso said. "Our focus remains on maintaining our momentum and securing the title."
Mané has been in impressive form for Al Nassr since joining the club in 2022, scoring 24 goals and assisting 13 goals in 53 matches. His leadership on and off the pitch has been crucial to the team's success, and his absence will leave a significant gap.
Al Nassr are currently second in the league table, trailing only to leaders Al Hilal by just two points. With crucial matches against Al Hilal and Al Shabab coming up, the club will need to rely on the consistency of other key players like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been in great form, and the likes of Salem Al-Dawsari and Abdulatiff Al-Buqawi.
Despite the temporary setback, Al Nassr's fans remain confident that the team can overcome this challenge and continue their quest for a historic title. The club's resilience and depth will be tested in the coming weeks, but with a strong squad and a positive mindset, Al Nassr are well-positioned to handle the injury crisis.
For now, all eyes will be on Al Nassr as they aim to maintain their high pace and keep their title hopes alive.
