Concerns have increased within the corridors of Al-Ittihad Club regarding the readiness of the Frenchman Moussa Diaby, ahead of the anticipated match against Qatar's Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League for the elite.

Doubts have surrounded Diaby's position on participating in the match scheduled for next Tuesday, as part of the seventh round of Group B competitions in the continental championship.

The Saudi newspaper 'Al-Riyadiyah' revealed that the player missed Al-Ittihad's recent training sessions due to an injury he sustained during the match against Al-Nassr in the league.

The newspaper clarified that the chances of Moussa Diaby participating in the match against Al-Gharafa have become slim, given his ongoing suffering from the effects of the injury and his incomplete recovery so far.

Al-Ittihad had suffered a loss against Al-Nassr with a score of two goals to none, in the match that brought the two teams together as part of the twenty-first round of the Saudi Roshn Professional League.

Al-Ittihad is preparing to undergo an important Asian test against Al-Gharafa, while it occupies the sixth place in its group standings with 9 points.

In contrast, Qatar's Al-Gharafa enters the confrontation in ninth place with 6 points, increasing the importance of the match for both teams in the race for qualification.
