Matthias Jaissle, the coach of Al-Ahli, decided to continue the group training sessions despite the postponement of the first leg match against Al-Duhail of Qatar in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The decision to continue training was made to maintain the players' readiness and not lose their technical rhythm before the anticipated match against Al-Ittihad in the Roshn League.

Al-Ahly has already begun its preparations for the upcoming Friday match, which is part of the twenty-fifth round, in a game considered pivotal in the race for the top spot.

On the other hand, Jaisle gave his players a day off on Tuesday to alleviate physical pressure and give them a chance to recover before the derby.

This organization comes amid the pressure of matches and the overlap of local and continental competitions, which requires precise management of training loads.

Al-Ahli occupies the second place in the Saudi Professional League standings with 59 points, just two points behind the leading team, Al-Nassr.
