The Saudi Al-Ahli club has regained the services of its Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Shabab in the fifth round of the Roshen Professional League, providing the team with a significant morale boost before the encounter.

The Saudi sports newspaper confirmed that Mendy has fully recovered from the injury he sustained while representing his national team, Senegal, during the international break and is ready to participate in today's match.

The coaching staff of Al-Ahli relies on the experienced goalkeeper's expertise to enhance the stability of the team's backline, especially given the absences the team is experiencing due to recent injuries.

On the other hand, the Brazilian duo Galeno and Roger Ibanez will miss the match against Al-Shabab, as both failed to recover from the injuries they sustained in recent days.

Defender Roger Ibanez suffered an ankle injury during team training, while Galeno sustained a thigh injury during his last participation against Pyramids, which necessitated their exclusion from the match roster.

Al-Ahli currently occupies the seventh position in the Saudi league standings with 8 points, and is striving for a victory that will bring them back into the competitive circle and enhance their ambitions at the top.
