Four Al-Ittihad players likely to miss match against Al-Faisaly

Ittihad are set to face Al-Faisaly in the 7th round of the Saudi Pro League, with strong possibilities of four players missing due to injuries and lack of match fitness.

The potential absentees list includes goalkeeper Rajkovic, along with Ahmed Al-Julaydan and Mokhtar Ali, as well as Dutchman Bergwijn, presenting the coaching staff with a new challenge.

Al-Ittihad's coach, Vissing, is wary of using any player from the quartet before they are fully fit to avoid exacerbating injuries or facing a setback during the match.

The coaching staff of Al-Ittihad is continuing to prepare suitable alternatives to compensate for expected absences and to set up a formation capable of dealing with Al-Faisaly in the match scheduled for tomorrow, Friday.

Ittihad aims to secure a positive result against Al-Faisaly and collect all three points to continue competing for the top spots in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Ittihad sit fourth in the Saudi Pro League table with 14 points ahead of their seventh round match, where the team hopes to boost their tally.

Potential absences come at a critical time for Al-Ittihad, especially with the team's need for physical and technical stability amid strong competition during the early rounds of the Saudi Pro League.
