A new crisis erupted within Al-Shabab Club after the management decided to exclude Moroccan player Abderrazak Hamdallah from group training for a week, which means he will officially miss the upcoming match against Al-Nassr.

The decision came following the escalation of the dispute between Hamdallah and his Belgian teammate Yannick Carrasco, a crisis that began last February and flared up again sharply during the recent match against Al-Taawoun.

Reports indicate that tension reached its peak in the locker room after a new dispute arose between the players over taking a set piece, which caused a state of unrest within the team.

In contrast, the youth management is considering decisive steps regarding the future of the Moroccan striker, especially with the recurring issues, amid strong possibilities of terminating the contract before the end of the season.

Social media ignited a debate after a message was posted by the club president, Abdulaziz Al-Malik, in which he affirmed that "the entity is above everyone," a remark interpreted as support for the disciplinary decision.

Hamdallah responded indirectly through his account, citing a Quranic verse, which opened the door to speculation about deeper conflicts within the club during the current period.

For his part, Turki Al-Ghamdi criticized the media's handling of the crisis, considering the portrayal of the player in a negative light and the leaking of news against him to be an unacceptable approach.

Sources indicate that Hamdallah's departure is likely at the end of the season, amid strained relations with the management and the beginning of efforts to sign a replacement striker.

Despite the efforts of the coaching staff led by Nour El-Din Ben Zakri to contain the situation, the management preferred to enforce discipline to maintain the team's stability during the crucial phase of the Roshan League.
