Al-Ittihad's striker, Saleh Al-Shehri, has returned to the field once again, participating in light running drills as part of his rehabilitation plan for a muscle injury he sustained last month.

Al-Shehri, who is 31 years old, conducted his training under the direct supervision of a member of the medical staff, running close to his teammates who continue their preparations for the anticipated match against Al-Fayha.

Despite this positive development, indicators confirm that Al-Shehri will miss the match against Al-Fayha in Round 31 of the Roshen Saudi League due to his physical readiness not being complete.

Al-Shehri's injury occurred during the match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Fateh on April 17, causing him to miss the matches against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Nassr in the last two rounds.

The technical and medical staff of Al-Ittihad are closely monitoring the player's condition, with expectations that he will not return to group training soon until he is fully recovered and to avoid any potential complications.
