The Saudi Federation announced the success of the medical procedure undergone by team defender Saad Al-Mousa to remove surgical fixtures, which took place at a specialized medical center in London.

The club clarified through its official account that the player will remain in the British capital for several weeks to complete the rehabilitation program following the surgery he recently underwent.

The medical team determined that Mousa would stay in London for about three weeks, during which he will continue his therapeutic exercises under the supervision of the specialized medical staff.

After this phase is completed, the defender is expected to return to the club's headquarters to continue the final part of the recovery program before returning to the field.

Al-Mousa suffered a severe ankle fracture during Al-Ittihad's training in November last year, which forced him to stay away from participating for a long time.

During the current season, the Al-Ittihad defender participated in only 10 matches with the team across various competitions before an injury sidelined him.

The technical staff of the club hopes to have the player back soon to strengthen the team's defense in the upcoming competitions.
