Abdulrahman Al-Aboud, a player for Al-Ittihad Club, requested that his club's management give him a regular opportunity to participate, following his exclusion from matches due to a disciplinary decision issued by the Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição.

The Al-Ittihad management held a meeting with Al-Aboud to discuss his current situation following his absence from participation, amid the ongoing tension between him and Conceição, according to the program "Nadina" on MBC channel.

During the meeting, Al-Aboud expressed his desire to play continuously in order to increase his chances of joining the Saudi national team and participating in the 2026 World Cup finals.

The same source indicated that the player was present in the stands during the Al-Ittihad vs. Al-Ettifaq match, which increases the likelihood of his continued presence with the team in the upcoming period, although there are no technical guarantees of regular participation.

In a related context, press reports indicated that Al-Shabab Club is one of the most prominent clubs interested in acquiring Abdulrahman Al-Aboud on a loan deal during the current winter transfer window.

This season, Al-Aboud has participated in 10 matches with Al-Ittihad across all competitions, playing a total of 219 minutes and successfully providing one assist, according to data from Transfermarkt.
