The former Saudi Al -Ittihad player, Mohamed Salem, confirmed that the team's defender Mario Mitai's injury may be incorrect.

Al -Ittihad issued a statement several days ago that the player was injured at the bottom of the abdominal muscles and did not specify the date of his return to the stadiums.

Salem said in statements on the "V -90" program broadcast on Saudi sports channels: "In fact, I am not sure of the reason for contracting with Mitai, was it for investment or was it to meet the team's needs, and I do not see that the idea of ​​investment is good."

He continued: "Mitai embarrassed the French coach Laurent Blanc at the distinguished level he presented since his first match with the team, and made the coach confused, because relying on him may cost him to dispense with another player like Diabi."

He explained: "I do not know the truth about the injury he suffered, there was no clear statement or detail of the injury.

He concluded: "The causes of the player's injury are not clear. Was he injured in a match or in his home?
