French coach Laurent Blanc has made his decision to include defender Ahmed Sharhili in the Ittihad squad heading to the capital, Riyadh, to face Al-Nasr in the anticipated Roshan League match.

Sharhili's return came after the medical staff confirmed his full readiness to participate in the classic match, prompting the coaching staff to include him in the official lineup for the crucial encounter.

The match will take place this evening as part of the thirtieth round of the Saudi Roshan League, and it is considered one of the most prominent matches of the season due to its competitive sensitivity.

Ittihad enters the match at the top of the league table with 68 points, while Al-Nasr is in third place, 8 points behind the leader.

Sharhili's presence provides a strong boost to the defense of the Ittihad team, especially against the Al-Nasr attack that is aiming to close the gap as the league season comes to a close.
