Al-Ittihad Club received unfortunate news regarding the condition of their striker, Saleh Al-Shehri, following the injury he recently sustained with the Saudi national team.

Reports indicated that the player is suffering from a muscle injury in his right leg, which will keep him off the field for a considerable period.

Journalistic sources reported that Al-Shahri's absence might extend from three to six weeks, depending on the development of his condition and his response to treatment.

This injury raises doubts about his ability to participate in the final stages of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The player is expected to undergo an intensive rehabilitation program in the coming period, in preparation for his return to group training.

Nevertheless, the possibility of a faster recovery remains if he responds positively to the treatment.

The Union is preparing to face Al Wahda of the UAE on April 14th, as part of the Round of 16 in the continental championship.

This match is considered an important test for the team, given the significant absences affecting its lineup before the crucial stage.
