Adjustment to youth preparation schedule after round 13 date set

The coaching staff of Al-Shabab, led by German Thomas Leitch, has made adjustments to the preparatory program during the international break and decided to postpone the resumption of training for an additional two days.

Players were scheduled to return to training on Wednesday after a one-day break, but new changes in the Saudi Pro League schedule have led the coaching staff to set Friday as the return date.

The decision came after the schedule for the 13th round was approved, where Al-Shabab will face their hosts Abha on November 26 at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Al-Mahala.

Litch has set up a preparatory program that includes two friendly matches during the break, with Al-Shabab facing Al-Kholood on November 17, before meeting Al-Faisaly on the 20th of the same month.

Al-Shabab sit 10th in the Saudi Pro League table with 14 points, having achieved four victories, five draws, and suffered three defeats over 11 rounds.

The team still has a postponed match against Al-Ittihad from the ninth round, which gives them a chance to improve their position in the standings in the upcoming period.
