Portuguese coach Sergio Conceição made a decisive decision regarding the player Hamad Al-Ghamdi following a dispute that arose between the two parties in recent days.

The incident occurred after the team's match against Riyadh, which Al-Ittihad lost 3-1 in the league competition.

Details indicate that the player engaged in a heated discussion with the coach over his exclusion from the match squad.

As a result, Conceição decided to temporarily exclude Al-Ghamdi from group training and subject him to an individual training program.

The player is expected to return to participate with the team normally after this phase concludes, with the resumption of training following the break.

This decision reflects the coaching staff's desire to enforce discipline within the team, especially amid recent declining results.

Al-Ittihad holds the sixth position in the league table with 42 points, increasing the importance of restoring stability within the team in the upcoming phase.
