Al-Ittihad team continues to struggle with absences, as it has been confirmed that three of its players will miss the upcoming match against Al-Riyadh, in the ninth round of the Roshn Saudi League, amid preparations led by Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição.

According to reports from Al-Youm newspaper, defender Saad Al-Mousa will miss the match after recently undergoing surgery, and he is currently undergoing a rehabilitation program to return to the field.

Al-Ittihad is also missing the services of left-back Moath Faqihi, who has not yet reached full technical and physical readiness, despite being in the advanced stages of his recovery program.

In the same context, Ahmed Sharahili is close to missing the match. Although he participated in the group training for the first time yesterday, Wednesday, the coaching staff is leaning towards not taking any risks with him before he is fully fit.

The match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Riyadh is scheduled to take place tomorrow, Friday, at 6:15 PM Mecca time, at the "Al-Inma" Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
