Al-Nassr’s injured midfielder Pity Martinez is set to return to Riyadh in November to complete his rehabilitation program at the club’s headquarters, Arabic sports daily Arriyadiyah has reported.
According to sources close to the player, the 28-year-old Argentinian will finish his current recovery program in his home country before returning to Riyadh to join Al-Nassr’s first team squad for the remainder of the Saudi Pro League season, which kicked off last week.
Marcelo Simone, the player’s Argentine business agent, said the club’s board of directors — led by President Mossali Al-Muammar — had not informed him of any plans to send the player out on loan.
“Pity’s contract with Al-Nassr continues, and the player is currently performing the final stage of his rehabilitation program after the surgery he underwent last April at the hands of Ramon Cugat, the famous Spanish doctor, in which he operated on the external collateral ligament of the knee,” Simone said.
Martinez signed for Al-Nassr in September 2020 on a four-year contract from Atlanta United FC.
