Saleh Al-Shehri returns for Al-Ittihad ahead of SPL trophy celebrations and King's Cup final
JEDDAH: Al-Ittihad striker Saleh Al-Shehri has returned to full training ahead of the club's Saudi Pro League title celebrations and their final league fixture against Damac on Monday. For the latest updates, follow us @ArabNewsSport The Saudi international had been sidelined since April 17 with a hamstring injury sustained during a match against Al-Fateh in round 28. He missed five games during his recovery but trained with the squad on Saturday under the watchful eye of head coach Laurent Blanc. His return comes as a timely boost for the Jeddah club, which will also welcome back several key players ahead of a crucial fortnight. French striker Karim Benzema and Algerian midfielder Houssem Aouar are both back from injury, while Brazilian enforcer Fabinho Tavares is available once again after serving a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation. Al-Ittihad resumed training on Saturday following a short two-day break, with preparations now focused on Monday's season finale and the King's Cup final against Al-Qadsiah on May 30. With the league title already secured, Blanc's side will be hoping to finish their campaign on a high before lifting the Roshn League trophy in front of their home fans at the King Abdullah Sports City.
