Al Nassr, a Saudi Arabian football club, has expressed its condolences to the family and loved ones of Brazilian forward Otávio after he died in a car accident on Sunday.
The news of Otávio's death came as a shock to many fans of Al Nassr, who had been impressed by his performances for the team this season. He was known for his skillful dribbling and scoring ability, and he had helped the club reach the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League earlier this year.
In a statement released by the club, Al Nassr said: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of our former player, Otavio. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time."
The club also paid tribute to Otavio's contributions to the sport, saying that he was "a true legend of Brazilian football" and that he will be remembered for his skills and dedication to the game.
The news of Otavio's death comes just days before the start of the 2021-22 season, which means that Al Nassr will have to find a new striker to fill his shoes. The club is already without several key players due to injuries, and finding a replacement will be no easy task.
Despite the tragedy, Al Nassr remains committed to supporting their community and continuing to play football. The club has said that they will continue to honor Otavio's memory by playing hard and winning games, and they hope that his legacy will inspire future generations of Brazilian footballers.
