Al-Ittihad faces an absence crisis before the decisive match against Al-Hilal.

Al-Ittihad is preparing to face Al-Hilal in the 23rd round of the Roshn Saudi League at the Kingdom Arena, despite a significant absence of key players.

The team will be without the quartet: Saleh Al-Shahri, Mario Mitai, Ahmed Al-Jaleedan, and Hassan Kadish, for various reasons during this important match.

However, “Al-Umeed” (The Dean – a nickname for Al-Ittihad) will see the prominent return of four players who recently recovered from injuries: Moussa Diaby, Faisal Al-Ghamdi, Abdulrahman Al-Oboud, in addition to Hassan Kadish, who was previously on the list of absentees.

The club’s management aims to continue the winning streak the team has achieved under the leadership of Sérgio Conceição in both domestic and continental competitions.
