Al-Ittihad team is preparing to strengthen its lineup with the return of one of its key players ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Kholood, scheduled for Friday as part of the Saudi Pro League (Roshn Saudi League) competition.

According to press reports, Algerian player Houssam Aouar, a midfielder for Al-Ittihad, has completed his rehabilitation program following his recovery from the injury that recently kept him off the field.

The newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah" explained that Awar will be ready to join the team's group training starting next Tuesday, making him available to the coaching staff for the match against Al-Khulood.

The Algerian midfielder missed Al-Ittihad's matches against Al-Shabab, Neom, and Al-Taawoun due to a muscle injury he sustained recently.

This season, Houssam Aouar has participated in 14 matches across all competitions wearing the Al-Ittihad jersey, managing to score 4 goals and provide 1 assist, according to Transfermarkt.

Al-Ittihad will visit Al-Kholood next Friday at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Buraidah, as part of the 14th round of the Roshn League.

Al-Ittihad occupies fifth place in the league standings with 23 points, having achieved 7 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses over 12 rounds.
