Team news & squads
Al Ittihad team news
Karim Benzema won't be part of this match as he has recently returned to his former club Real Madrid for treatment on recurring injuries he's been dealing with this season.
Abderrazak Hamdallah, the team's top scorer, missed the previous loss to Abha and remains uncertain for this match. Additionally, Ittihad's primary defensive lineup, including Ahmed Sharahili, Ahmed Bamasud, Luiz Felipe, Madallah Al-Olayan, and Omar Hawsawi, are all sidelined due to injuries.
In midfield, Fabinho is likely out for the remainder of the season, and both Hamed Al-Ghamdi and Sultan Al-Farhan are doubtful.
Ittihad predicted XI: Al-Mayouf; Al Yami, Al Mosa, Kadesh, Al Jaadi; F Al-Ghamdi, Kante, A. Al-Ghamdi; Al-Amri, Romarinho, Jota.
