Coach Stephen Pioli is facing a major challenge before the victory match against the agreement, due to the impact on the defense line. The absence of the duo, Ali Lagami and Muhammad Semakan, imposes emergency changes on the starting lineup.

Lagami was unable to recover in time, which means officially excluding him from the confrontation. The medical device preferred not to risk its involvement before restoring its full readiness.

French defender Mohamed Seimakan was exposed to expulsion during the confrontation of Al -Ahly, which led to two games. His absence increases the defensive challenge to the agreement.

Pioli decided to pay Muhammad Al -Fateel to compensate for the absence of Lagami. The player has a good experience in the heart of the defense, making him the most appropriate option to fill the defensive void.

As part of his strategy, Bioli called Ali Al -Hassan to occupy the center of the defense during the main maneuver. This change reflects its endeavor to enhance defensive hardness, in light of the impressive absences.
