Dones Approaches Decision on Saudi Goalkeeper Against Uruguay
The head coach of the Saudi national team, Georgios Donis, is close to deciding on the main goalkeeper for the match against Uruguay in the opening of the Green Falcons' journey in the 2026 World Cup.
The data indicates that the coaching staff prefers to rely on Mohammed Al-Owais due to his technical readiness and consistent performance in recent friendly matches.
This approach comes despite goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi recovering from injury, as the coaching staff prefers not to take risks with him in the opening match.
The coaching staff believes that giving Al-Owais confidence in this match provides the team with greater stability in the back line against the strong Uruguay national team.
Donis is also considering the option of making an early decision to reduce uncertainty within the group, especially given the importance of a strong start in Group H.
The Saudi Green continues its intensive preparations for the opening match of the 2026 World Cup, with a strong focus on defensive and tactical aspects.
The final decision is expected to be officially made during the last training sessions before the match.
