Al-Ahli Introduces New Duo for Clash with Al-Ettifaq Flanks
Al-Ahli Jeddah’s coach, Matthias Jaissle, has made crucial decisions for the upcoming match against Al-Ettifaq. As part of the 19th round of the Saudi Professional League, Jaissle has finalized his choices for the full-back positions in light of recent player absences.

Mohamed Abdel Rahman and Mohamed Bakr will take the flanks for Al-Ahli. This selection comes as a result of both Ali Majrashi and Zakaria Hawsawi being suspended. Their absence prompted the coaching staff to seek immediate alternatives.

Adding to Al-Ahli’s challenges, Turkish defender Merih Demiral is also sidelined. He suffered a groin muscle tear during the last match against Al-Khaleej. The team is now counting on Abdel Rahman and Bakr for both defensive and offensive responsibilities in their upcoming clash.
