Jorge Jesus - who recalled his time at Luz - is furious with Wesley. The Brazilian winger returned from the Brazilian U-20 national team overweight, and the former Benfica coach took drastic measures, sidelining the forward who shares a locker room with João Félix at Al Nassr.

According to information revealed by the Saudi press, Wesley was given a vacation period after participating in the U-20 World Cup. However, the player reportedly let himself go and returned to Arabia out of shape, which left Jorge Jesus very irritated.

To correct the situation, the former Benfica coach put Wesley through intensive training, away from the Al Nassr squad, so the player could regain his fitness. The young winger will return to training with his teammates and be an option for Jorge Jesus once he loses a few kilos.

Al Nassr started the season in the best way possible, with eight wins and one draw in nine games, currently leading the Saudi Premier League table with 12 points, two more than Al Qadisiya, who are in second place with 10 points.
