The German Matthias Jaissle, coach of Al-Ahli Jeddah, has finalized his choices for the full-back positions ahead of the upcoming match against Al-Ettifaq, as part of the 19th round of the Saudi Professional League.

Yaisleh decided to include Mohamed Abdel Rahman on the right flank and Mohamed Bakr on the left flank to compensate for the absence of Ali Majrashi and Zakaria Hawsawi in the upcoming match.

The German coach's reliance on this duo comes after the confirmed absence of Majrashi and Hawsawi due to suspension, which forced the coaching staff to look for quick alternative solutions.

Journalistic sources confirmed that Abdul Rahman and Bakr will be in the starting lineup, with full confidence given to them to perform both defensive and offensive roles during the match.

Al-Ahly also misses the services of Turkish defender Merih Demiral, after he sustained a groin muscle tear injury during the match against Al-Khaleej in the last round.

The match between Al-Ahli and Al-Ettifaq will be held at the Al-Inma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, on Wednesday evening, at 8:30 PM.

Al-Ahli occupies the third place in the Saudi League standings with 40 points, while Al-Ettifaq is in seventh place with 29 points.
