Ahmed Sharahili, the Al-Ittihad defender, is nearing the completion of his treatment and rehabilitation stages, paving the way for his return to group training after a period of absence due to a recent injury.

According to the Saudi newspaper 'Al-Riyadiyah', Sharahili has completed his treatment program within the club's clinic and has already started implementing part of his fitness plan in preparation for a gradual return to the field.

The newspaper noted that the 31-year-old player has begun running around the field accompanied by the physical trainer, in a step aimed at gradually enhancing his physical readiness.

Sharahili aims to fully restore his fitness reserves in the coming days, in preparation for joining Al-Ittihad's group training after surpassing the final stages of rehabilitation.

The Al-Ittihad defender had been absent from recent matches due to a muscle injury in the back part, which kept him away from representing the team for a period.

Al-Ittihad continues its preparations to face Riyadh in the ninth round of the Saudi Roshn League, where the team occupies the eighth position with 11 points, collected from three wins, two draws, and three losses.
