Saudi press reports reveal the latest preparations of al-ahli of Jeddah to confront his counterpart Al-Hilal in the powerful match that brings together the two teams in the Saudi Super
Al-Ahli is in a high-calibre clash against his counterpart, Al-Hilal on 13 September in a meeting between the two teams at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Championship.
Al-Ahli Medical Service is making intensive efforts to prepare striker Faras al-Barikan to contest the Saudi Super semi-final after his recent injury.
Brickan suffered muscle rupture during the Austrian Blaw Weiss Linz friendly held on July 23.
The injury caused Barakan’s absence from the two friendly games played by Al-Ahli against Al-Gharafa Qatari and Saudi Riyadh during his camp in Austria in preparation for next season.
Jeddah’s parents had agreed to loan France’s Saint-Maximin, the left wing, to Turkish Fenerbahce for one season without concluding any new, foreign or domestic deals.
According to Al-Youm, the Brikan suffers from a severe muscle rupture, which will keep him out of action for 30 to 35 days.
“It is difficult to catch up with the crescent, especially because it will play in just 12 days, where the medical service is afraid to risk it, for fear of worsening the injury.”
The absence of Brickan is a major shock to Jeddah’s parents, given the great potential he possesses at the tactical and targeting levels.
