The absence from the Western Club training was not limited to the French star, but also extended to his colleague Abdul Rahman Al-Aboud, who was content with performing a morning session without participating in the evening group training.
Al-Ittihad is preparing to face its host, Al-Ukhdood, on Thursday, in the match that brings them together in the sixth round of the Roshan Saudi Professional League, on the grounds of Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran.
Al-Ittihad coach Nuno Santo, the Portuguese coach, is looking forward during the last two sessions before the confrontation to reach the optimal formation with which he will face the groove, in light of the confirmed absence of his compatriot Jota and the Brazilian Cornado due to injury.
It is noteworthy that Al-Ittihad occupies third place in the league standings with 12 points gained following winning 4 out of 5 matches, compared to one loss it suffered at home and among its fans in the El Clásico match once morest Al-Hilal last round.
