Roger Fernandez's absence from the match against Al-Kholood has been confirmed, delivering a surprising blow to Al-Ittihad ahead of the thirty-first round of the Roshan League.

The player was excluded due to an injury he sustained recently, which kept him from participating in the team's recent matches.

Fernandez is suffering from an injury that has affected his physical readiness, prompting the coaching staff to exclude him from the plans for the upcoming match.

The player's absence represents an additional challenge for the team, given his importance in the team's offensive options this season.

In contrast, the coaching staff is looking for suitable alternatives to compensate for this absence while maintaining balance within the starting lineup.

The union enters the match with high spirits after their recent 2-0 victory over Al-Taawoun, a result that boosted the team's confidence.

The team aims to continue its positive results, despite the absences, in order to maintain its position in the standings during the crucial stages of the season.
