Argentina’s Marcelo Gariado, head coach of the Saudi al-itthad club, received good news, recovering 3 of the team’s injured ahead of the al-hazm match in the Saudi Rosen League for the 2023-24 season.
Al Jadawi Club suffers injuries to its players Abdullah Al Jandi, Ahmed Sharahili, Ahmed Bamsoud, Brazilian star Fabinho, Saad Al Musa and Muhannad Al Shanqaiti, as well as Hamid Al Ghamdi.
According to the Saudi Sports newspaper, the Saudi al-itthad restored the services of the trio of Saad Al Musa and Muhannad Al Shinqiti beside Hamid Al Ghamdi.
Centre-back Saad al-Musa suffered a muscle injury, while Muhannad al-Shinqiti suffered a rear muscle injury sustained at the Club World Cup in the Al-Ahli Egyptian match, while Al-Ghamdi suffered a minor injury at the Saudi Super Cup.
Marcelo Gariado is likely to inform his team of his starting form in front of the al-hazm during a technical meeting on Saturday afternoon several hours before the opening whistle.
The al-itthad is ranked fifth in the Saudi League table. The Dean’s balance is 47 points in fifth place and one point behind the fourth-ranked cooperation and 5 points from the third-placed Ahli Jeddah.
The Western club seeks to return to the winning tracks again, having stumbled in the last two games of the Saudi Rosen League, where they were defeated by Al Ahly (1-0), and tied with a passive cooperation without goals before the Saudi Super Cup loss to Al Hilal (4-1).
When is the Saudi al-itthad and al-hazm match in the Roshen League?
The Dean is scheduled to meet with Al-Hizmah on Saturday evening, April 20, 2024, as part of the 28th round of the Saudi League for the 2023-24 season.
The Etihad and al-hazm match kicks off at 9 p.m. Mecca Time and Doha, with the King Abdullah Sports Stadium with a capacity of 25,000 spectators.
It is worth mentioning that the Saudi al-itthad is preparing for the end of April to meet its counterpart Al-Hilal in a frequent meeting between the two teams this season, but this time they face off in the semi-finals of the Saudi Copa del Rey, and this will be their sixth encounter of the season, after two games in the Saudi League, as in the Asian champions and another meeting in the Super Cup.
