The Al-Ittihad team suffered a painful blow with the injury of one of its stars before the end of the first half of the match against Al-Nassr, held at the "Al-Inma" stadium in King Abdullah Sports City.

Al-Ittihad is playing a strong match against its counterpart Al-Nassr in a fiery classic that comes as part of the fourth round of the Roshan Saudi Professional League, this Friday evening.

Al-Ittihad is trailing Al-Nassr by two clean goals in the first half of the classic match, where the global team excelled in terms of performance and score.

Algerian midfielder Hossam Aouar was injured, preventing him from continuing the classic, leading him to leave the field in the first forced substitution for the team at minute "45+2".

Laurent Blanc, the coach of Al-Ittihad, preferred to substitute Faisal Al-Ghamdi in the classic match instead of Hossam Aouar after the latter left the field due to his injury.
