Fabinho returns to the Brazilian national team after a three-year absence.

Fabinho stated in his remarks to the "Asharq Al-Awsat" newspaper that being selected again for the "Samba" squad is an unforgettable moment for him, noting that he experienced an exceptional feeling after a long period away from the national team.

The midfielder of Al-Ittihad confirmed that he received a flood of congratulations from his family and friends as soon as his return was announced, emphasizing his determination to give his all in the upcoming phase to continue representing the Brazilian national team honorably.

Fabinho spoke about the upcoming derby match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli in the Saudi league, describing it as a special game played in front of a large fan support. He emphasized the importance of winning to make up for recent setbacks.

Fabinho promised the fans of Al-Ittihad that he would give his best with the team in the upcoming period, in light of the local and continental competitions that "The Brigadier" is participating in.

Fabinho recently participated in Al-Ittihad's victory over Sharjah in the AFC Champions League, winning 3-0. However, he will miss the derby in the eighth round against Al-Ahli due to the red card he received in the previous match against Al-Khaleej.

Al-Ittihad is currently in eighth place in the Roshan Saudi League standings with 11 points, which they have earned from three wins, two draws, and two losses so far.
