Saleh Al-Shehri is nearing the completion of his rehabilitation program with Al-Ittihad after recovering from a muscle injury. The team's striker has entered the final phase of his rehabilitation, paving the way for his return to the field soon.

Sources confirmed that the player is close to joining group training in the coming days. Al-Shahri had sustained an injury while participating with the Saudi national team in the March camp.

The player joined Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2024, coming from Al-Hilal. This season, he participated in 21 matches, scoring four goals and assisting one.

On the other hand, coach Sergio Conceição is awaiting the main training session to determine replacements for the absentees. Danilo Pereira is absent due to suspension, along with Moussa Diaby following a red card.

The team is preparing to face Al-Taawoun in the 30th round of the Roshan League. The team is currently in sixth place with 45 points, four points behind Al-Taawoun, who are in fifth place.
