France’s Laurent Blanc, head coach of the al-itthad of Jeddah , monitored the commitment of two of the team’s players, who were involved in the violent clash during the friendly meeting against the Portuguese Farenzi.
The al-itthad s match against his counterpart Farinzi, which was held during the Brigadier General’s camp in Portugal in preparation for the new season, was marked by major violence and clashes that necessitated the early conclusion of the match.
According to the Saudi sports newspaper Laurent Blanc, on Monday, he will request a detailed report from his auxiliary body on the extent to which Farha al-Shamrani and Talal Haji, the team’s players, are committed to the fitness programme developed for them.
Blanc excluded the pair from Portugal’s camp and returned them to Jeddah following the clash against Farenzi.
The newspaper noted that the technical and administrative organs will meet with the players to resolve the decision to reinstate them for the training scheduled to resume next Monday.
The sport stated at a time that the club’s management had done the internal regulations on players following the events during the Farenzee encounter.
Financial penalties were also applied to a number of its players after clashes of hands with some Varenzi players.
According to the sports newspaper, Abdelaziz al-Bichi will not participate with the federation next season.
She added that the al-itthad was going to loan the 30-year-old Bichi to a club, or terminate his contract, in order to be free to move to any club.
