Wijnaldum boosts fitness ahead of Al-Ittihad and Al-Dar'iya clash

Wijnaldum participated in physical training with the non-starting players, despite being part of the squad that won against Al-Ettifaq by four goals to one on Tuesday in Dammam, in the 10th round of the Saudi Pro League.

Ittihad resumed their preparations on Wednesday afternoon at the club's stadium under the guidance of German coach Jens Wissing, following the team's arrival in Jeddah in the early hours after their victory against Al-Ettifaq.

The players who started the last match underwent recovery training, while the rest of the team engaged in field training. Wijnaldum was the exception among the starters, as he moved to the second group after completing his recovery program.

The midfielder completed physical training before leaving the pitch as the practice match began, aiming to improve his fitness levels in preparation for the upcoming challenge.

Ittihad conclude their preparations for the match against Al-Dhariyah on Thursday with an evening training session at the club's stadium, ahead of the encounter scheduled for Friday in the 11th round of the Saudi Pro League, as the team aims to continue their positive results.

The Dutch midfielder Jorginho Wijnaldum of Al-Ittihad has intensified his physical work during the team's training on Wednesday in Jeddah, after completing his recovery program, in an effort to improve his fitness ahead of the match against Al-Dhariyah in the Saudi Pro League.
