Al Qadsiah begin preparations for clash with Shabab Al-Ahli

Al Qadsiah's first football team resumed collective training on Friday at the club's stadium in Khobar, following the break that the players had during the international stoppage.

Nahitan Nández and other injured players have undergone medical examinations to assess their physical condition and determine their return date, after Nández suffered an ankle injury during the match against Al Hilal last month.

The list of absentees due to injury includes Spanish defender Nacho Fernández and his teammate Jehad Thakri, in addition to Waleed Al-Ahmad, who continues to follow his rehabilitation program in its final stages after undergoing cruciate ligament surgery.

The coaching staff is looking forward to the gradual completion of the squad next week, with local and international players joining training after finishing their commitments and participation with their national teams during the current break.

Al Qadsiah sit second in the Saudi Pro League with 28 points from 12 matches, two points behind leaders Al Hilal and ahead of third-placed Al Nassr on goal difference.

The team faces a continental test against Shabab Al-Ahli away on November 24, in the AFC Champions League Elite, before hosting Al-Fayha FC on November 27 for the thirteenth round of the Saudi Pro League.
