Saleh Al-Shehri's chances of joining the match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli in the 25th round of the Roshn League have diminished.

Al-Ahli will host its rival Al-Ittihad on Friday evening in the anticipated Jeddah derby, amid anticipation regarding the condition of the forward returning from injury.

Press reports indicated that Al-Shahri has completed his treatment and rehabilitation program, but he has not yet reached full readiness to participate.

His final decision is expected to be made after the last training session, which will determine his ability to be included in the match squad.

The club had missed the player's services in six league matches, in addition to two encounters in the Asian Champions League for the elite.

This season, Al-Shehri participated in 19 matches across various competitions, during which he scored four goals and provided one assist.
