The Al-Ittihad squad was replenished yesterday, Thursday, with the participation of international players at the team’s training.
The return of players Ahmed Hegazy, Tariq Hamed, Ahmed Bamasoud, Awad Al-Nashiri, Zakaria Hawsavi and Haroun Kamara added to the flavor of Al Ittihad’s final training session before leaving for Riyadh in preparation for their clash with Al Nasr next Sunday at fifth round Saudi League Roshan.
Costa and Romarinho are waiting for the decision of the medical staff to enter the group training, provided that Nuno Santo takes the players with him to Riyadh, and the decision to participate in the match will be in the hands of the coach.
High morale prevailed over Tariq Hamed after he captained Egypt for the first time in his history in the international friendly that the Egyptian team played against Liberia, where he tweeted through his personal Twitter account: “Captaining my national team for the first time, big honor”.
As a result, tickets for Al Ittihad fans have been sold out as the Mrsul Park stadiums are expected to be filled for next Sunday’s summit given the importance of the match for both teams.
