Al-Ahli Adjusts Plan Before Facing Damak in Roshan League
Matthias Jaissle, the coach of Al-Ahli Saudi Club, announced an important decision ahead of the match against Damac Saudi Club in the 24th round of the Saudi Roshn League.
The coaching staff decided for the team to depart for Abha on Sunday afternoon, with the final training session to be held at the match venue. This step is being implemented for the first time this season in local competitions.
This step was taken to reduce the physical strain on players during the month of Ramadan, especially with the delay in training schedules, which prompted the German coach to adjust the preparation program.
The final training session of Al-Ahly saw the participation of Turkish defender Merih Demiral in the group practice, after a period of absence due to injury.
It is expected that Jaissle will decide Demiral's position regarding entering the match list, given his need for further rehabilitation before officially returning to competitions.
Al-Ahli holds the third position in the standings with 53 points, two points behind the leader Al-Nassr, while Damac is in the sixteenth position with 15 points.
