The features of the Union's lineup are gradually becoming clear ahead of the anticipated match against Riyadh, following press reports revealing the status of the duo Saleh Al-Shehri and Awad Al-Nashri regarding their participation in the upcoming encounter.

The forward, Saleh Al-Shehri, expressed his full readiness to return to matches after showing strong performance in group training sessions in recent days following his recovery from a calf muscle injury.

Al-Shahri actively participated in the team's training sessions, providing the coaching staff with additional options in the forward line for the upcoming match.

On the other hand, midfielder Awad Al-Nashri's chances of participating in the match against Riyadh seem limited due to his physical readiness not being complete yet.

The Saudi newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah" reported that Al-Nashri is still undergoing a special rehabilitation program following the injury he sustained during the match between Al-Ittihad and Al-Hazm.

The club is preparing to finalize its preparations for the match with the last training session, which the team will conduct on Thursday afternoon at the club's stadium.

After the training session ends, the players will have breakfast before the team delegation departs for the capital, Riyadh, in preparation for the match.

Saleh Al-Shehri, aged 32, participated with Al-Ittihad in 19 matches across various competitions this season, totaling 514 minutes of play, during which he scored 4 goals and assisted one.
