Return date for Ittihad training set after break

The coaching staff of Al-Ittihad, led by German Jens Wissing, has set next Monday as the date to resume training after the players' break in preparation for upcoming commitments.

The players of Al-Ittihad had been away from training for five days after their last match against Al-Ain, which ended in a 4-1 defeat for the team.

The defeat came in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League Elite, marking the start of a rest period granted by the coaching staff.

Al-Ittihad are missing six players from training due to their international commitments and participation with their national teams during the current break.

The list of absentees includes Mukhtar Ali, Faris Abdi, Ahmed Al-Ghamdi, and Marwan Al-Sahafi, alongside Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri and Senegalese Dion Lopy.

The coaching staff is expected to continue preparations with the available players until the return of the international players and their reintegration into the team's training.
