The Portuguese coach of Al-Ittihad, Sergio Conceicao, issued an urgent decision before the match against Al-Sadd in the final round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The coaching staff decided to include Abdulrahman Al-Aboud in the traveling team's roster after resolving his recent issue and his return to readiness.

The move comes at a crucial time, as the federation seeks to enhance its technical options ahead of the highly anticipated match that holds significant importance in the tournament journey.

The team aspires to continue its positive results and strongly compete for the continental title, especially given the technical stability in recent times.

The federation achieved a resounding victory in its last appearance, having overwhelmed Al-Gharafa with seven goals to none at the Inma Stadium.

The team enters the match with high ambitions to continue their victories and confirm their readiness before the knockout stages of the Asian competition.
