The technical staff of the first football team at Al-Ittihad Saudi Club received a strong boost and very good news, which was represented by the brilliant Algerian star Houssem Aouar the medical green light to participate in group training, after his full recovery from the injury that he suffered recently.
The dynamo returns to the ranks of the Dean
Medical reports have confirmed that Aouar is fit to participate in Tuesday's training session. This decision comes after a period of rehabilitation and treatment following the injury he sustained while with the Algerian national team in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Aouar's return is considered a significant tactical boost for Al-Ittihad's midfield, given his extensive European experience and his ability to link the lines and create scoring opportunities.
Preparing to face eternity after the euphoria of victory
Al-Ittihad will resume training on Tuesday after a 48-hour break, granted by the coaching staff as a reward for their hard work and positive result in Saturday evening's victory over Al-Taawoun in the 13th round of matches. The coaching staff aims to capitalize on the players' high morale, bolstered by the return of injured players, to prepare optimally for the upcoming match.
The importance of the match and the team's position in the league
Al-Ittihad will be a tough opponent for Al-Kholoud at 8:30 PM next Friday, in the 14th round of the Roshan Professional League. This match is of paramount importance to the Tigers, as they enter the game in fifth place in the standings with 23 points.
Given the fierce competition in the Saudi league this season, and the clubs' attraction of the world's brightest stars, there is no room for error if Al-Ittihad wants to return to serious contention for the top spots. Therefore, having a player of Houssem Aouar's caliber in the starting lineup, or even as a strategic option on the bench, will significantly boost the team's chances of securing three points and continuing their climb towards the top of the standings.
