Aouar Gives Conceição a Strong Boost Before the Al-Kholood Match
Thursday 08-01-2026
Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição, head coach of Al-Ittihad Club, received good news during the team's training session held on Tuesday evening, as part of the serious preparations for the upcoming match against Al-Kholood in the Saudi Professional League.

The group training sessions saw the participation of Algerian international Houssem Aouar, who appeared in good form and took part in the technical drill conducted by the coaching staff. He was part of the winning team alongside Rajkovic, Moussa Diaby, Fabinho, and Mario Mitaj, a clear indication of his technical and physical readiness.

Conceição decided to reinstate Houssem Aouar to Al-Ittihad's squad for the upcoming Al-Kholood match, scheduled for next Friday, after confirming his full recovery from injury and his readiness to participate without any medical reservations.

Aouar had suffered from a thigh muscle injury during the past period, which kept him out of the coaching staff's plans and led to his exclusion from the Algerian national team squad participating in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. However, he has now returned to strengthen Al-Ittihad's options in the upcoming phase.
