Conceição is puzzled about Fabinho's replacement during the Al-Ittihad and Al-Ettifaq match
Portuguese coach Sérgio Conceição, head coach of Al-Ittihad Club, is carefully considering his options to select the best replacement to cover for the absence of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho in the upcoming match.
Fabinho will be absent from Al-Ittihad's lineup due to suspension, following his red card in the team's recent match against Damac in the Roshn Saudi League.
According to the Saudi newspaper "Okaz," Conceição is currently deciding between the duo Houssam Awar and Mohamed Doumbia to fill Fabinho's position in the starting lineup.
The Al-Ittihad coach plans to conduct a decisive football drill tomorrow evening, Thursday, in order to finalize the tactical approach and the players he will rely on for the upcoming match.
Al-Ittihad is preparing to face Al-Ettifaq next Friday, as part of the 16th round of the Roshn Saudi Professional League.
The match will be held at the Alinma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, at 8:30 PM Saudi time.
Al-Ittihad occupies sixth place in the league standings with 27 points, while Al-Ettifaq is in seventh place with 22 points, which adds to the importance of the match for both teams.
