A Major Setback for Al-Ittihad Before the Clasico Hours
The Saudi club Al-Ittihad received a shock ahead of the Clasico match against Al-Hilal, as part of the Saudi Roshn League competition, after confirming the absence of one of its prominent foreign professionals.
The Union will visit Al Hilal on Saturday evening in the twenty-third round, in an anticipated match hosted at the Kingdom Arena amidst great fan anticipation.
The absence of Dutch player Steven Berghuis from the match was confirmed, as he did not accompany the team traveling to Riyadh due to not being fully physically fit, according to the "Action with Waleed" program.
On the other hand, the Union's lineup included the Albanian Mario Mitaj and the Frenchman Moussa Diaby, despite the ongoing uncertainty about their starting participation in the match.
Maitai had missed the recent training sessions due to traveling to his home country following the death of his grandmother, while Diaby recently returned to participate in group sessions after recovering from an injury.
The whistle for the Clasico will blow at 10 PM Saudi time, with Al-Hilal leading the standings with 53 points, while Al-Ittihad is in seventh place with 37 points.
