Renard Calls on New Duo to Solve Crisis Before Facing Egypt
Hervé Renard, the coach of the Saudi national team, strengthened his tactical options ahead of the anticipated friendly match against Egypt by adding new players to the team's roster.
Renard decided to call up the duo Marwan Al-Sahafi and Naif Masoud to participate in the first team's training, coming from the "B" team camp, with the aim of expanding the selection pool.
This decision came at a critical time, as the coaching staff is trying to prepare as many players as possible before the important friendly match.
On the other hand, the coaching staff received a minor setback after Muteb Al-Harbi sustained an ankle joint injury, preventing him from completing the last training session.
The Saudi national team concluded its field preparations on Thursday evening, as part of its training camp held during the international break in March.
The Green team is scheduled to meet the Egyptian national team on Friday evening at the Al-Inma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, in a strong friendly match.
The team will continue its preparation program with a second match against the Serbian national team in Belgrade on March 31, as part of the preparations for the 2026 World Cup.
