New Full-Back Duo for Al-Ahli: Key Players
With the 19th round match approaching, Jaissle has selected Mohamed Abdel Rahman to play on the right flank and Mohamed Bakr on the left. This choice comes in response to the suspension of Ali Majrashi and Zakaria Hawsawi, who will not be available for this crucial game.
Suspensions and Injuries Impacting the Team
