Union Loses Player in Match Against Al-Ahli
Sunday 02-11-2025
The Ittihad team received a significant blow before their anticipated match against Al-Ahli next Saturday in the eighth round of the Roshan Saudi League, as the absence of Brazilian Fabinho Tavares from the match was confirmed.

Fabinho's exclusion came as a result of receiving a red card in the previous match against Al-Khaleej, an incident that sparked widespread controversy after the player's intervention in the 32nd minute at Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium.

The early red card altered the dynamics of the match before the thrilling encounter ended in a 4-4 draw, making it one of the most exciting matches of the season so far.

Fabinho, who is 32 years old, is considered one of the key pillars in the Ittihad midfield, making his absence significantly impactful on coach Sergio Conceicao's options in the crucial derby match.

The coaching staff is striving to compensate for the player's absence with a substitute capable of contributing in a strong encounter against an opponent that is in a stable form this season.

Saudi football fans are looking forward to an anticipated clash between Ittihad and Al-Ahli, amid questions about the impact of Fabinho's absence on the performance of the team and its ability to dominate in the midfield.
