Yaisleh Prepares Al-Ahli for the Derby.. An Unexpected Test and Decision After the Loss to Al-Akhdoode

In preparation for the derby clash against Al-Ittihad, German coach Matthias Yaisleh is seeking to prepare the Al-Ahli team in a different way, following a surprising loss to Al-Akhdoode, and amidst numerous international absences during the break.

Yaisleh has requested the management to secure a friendly match, preferring to avoid holding an internal or external camp at this time.

The absence of a large number of Al-Ahli players due to their call-ups to their national teams has led the coach to change his plans and rely on local preparations.

Despite the recent defeat, the coach did not give his players a break; instead, they resumed training immediately at the club's headquarters in Jeddah.

The players underwent recovery and muscle loosening exercises in preparation for the upcoming phase, in a serious atmosphere following the decline in results.

Players are expected to get a short break after Tuesday's training, with a return next Monday to start preparations for the derby.
