Yenz Fisicng, the German coach of Al-Ittihad, has outlined a preparation program for the team during the international break, which includes playing a friendly match after coordinating with the club's administrative staff.

The union resumed its collective training last Monday as part of its preparations for the upcoming AFC Champions League Elite match against Pakhtakor, scheduled for November 23.

The Al-Inma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah will host the match, part of the fifth round of the AFC Champions League Elite, with technical preparations underway to restore the team's readiness.

The coaching staff is awaiting the return of six international players after their commitments with their national teams conclude at the end of next week, in order to complete the squad ahead of the upcoming match.

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

Al-Ittihad are currently in fourth place in the Saudi Pro League standings with 24 points, having achieved seven victories, three draws, and one loss in 11 matches.
