In the recent 2-1 victory of Al-Nassr over Al Fateh, Otavio sustained an undisclosed injury, leading to his substitution by Sami Al-Najei during the latter stages of the second half.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr faces the absence of David Ospina due to a torn thigh muscle, while Raghed Al-Najjar picked up an injury early in the weekend fixture, potentially paving the way for Waleed Abdullah to take over goalkeeping duties in the upcoming match.
Cristiano Ronaldo was the lone scorer in the previous leg, with both him and Otavio finding the net in the team's recent league triumph on Saturday.
As Al-Nassr prepares for the upcoming fixture, Mohammed Majrashi's availability for Al Fayha remains uncertain, with the striker grappling with a cruciate ligament injury sustained in early October.
Notably, six Al Fayha players retained their starting positions from matchday six to the previous leg fixture, including Hussein Al-Shuwaish, Mohammed Al-Baqawi, Abdulrahman Al-Safri, Nawaf Al-Harthi, Sultan Mandash, and Fashion Sakala.
Over the weekend, a brace from Henry Onyekuru, along with a goal from fellow Nigerian Anthony Nwakaeme, halted Al Nassr's five-match losing streak in the Saudi Pro League.
