Hassan Kadesh begins rehabilitation program at Ittihad

Al-Ittihad defender Hassan Kadesh has started his rehabilitation program at the club's headquarters on Friday, two weeks after undergoing successful surgery on his left quadriceps.

The Saudi national team player has started his recovery process with initial exercises in the gym, using rehabilitation equipment. This step paves the way for his gradual return to team training and participation in official matches.

Hassan Kadesh suffered an injury during his participation with the Saudi national team against Oman, in the second round of the group stage of the Arabian Gulf Cup, and was forced to leave the pitch before completing his participation in the Green Camp to continue treatment.

While the defender has started his rehabilitation program, the first team of Al-Ittihad has returned to training at the club's main pitch, in preparation for their match against Al-Ettifaq scheduled for next Tuesday, as part of the tenth round of the Saudi Pro League.

German coach Jens Wissing has given Al-Ittihad players a day off on Thursday, after their match against Al-Shabab in the ninth round was postponed to December 19, allowing the coaching staff to rearrange the preparation schedule.

Kadesh continues his rehabilitation according to the set plan after surgery, while Ittihad prepares to face Al-Ettifaq, awaiting developments on the defender's condition and his progress towards regaining full fitness.
