Fatih Terim Surprises Al-Maiouf Before the Al-Khulood Match
Coach Fatih Terim decided to start Abdullah Al-Maiouf against Al-Khulood after his absence from the last match against Al-Ittihad in the cup.
Terim excluded Ukrainian goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan and full-back Leandro from the match against Al-Khulood due to the restriction on foreign players to a limited number.
Terim intensified his training sessions with Al-Maiouf before the match, indicating his clear reliance on him as the first-choice goalkeeper for the anticipated encounter.
Al-Maiouf participated in 14 matches this season and managed to keep a clean sheet 5 times despite missing the first 7 rounds.
Terim chose Bushchan as the starter against Al-Ittihad in the cup semi-final, but the heavy loss prompted him to restore confidence in Al-Maiouf.
The chances of defender Mohammed Al-Shuwairkh participating have diminished after he missed training due to a sudden gastrointestinal illness.
Al-Shabab enters the match with 46 points in sixth place, while Al-Khulood aims to strengthen its position from eleventh place.
