The Portuguese Nuno Santo, coach of the first football team, Al-Ittihad, put the Portuguese winger Joao Felipe “Jota”, the Scottish Celtic player, as a first choice, instead of the Egyptian defender Ahmed Hegazy, who is absent with injury.
And according to Al-Riyadiah sources, Santo wants the administration to restrict a wing and drop Hegazy’s name from the team’s list temporarily.
In addition, it was confirmed that the Egyptian Tariq Hamed, the midfielder, the Moroccan Abd al-Razzaq Hamdallah, the spearhead, the Brazilian striker Romarinho, and his compatriots Marcelo Grohe, the goalkeeper, and Igor Coronado, the playmaker, confirmed the start of the preparation camp for the new season.
The team’s administrative staff contacted foreigners, including Frenchmen Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante, and informed them of the start date of the Taif camp, set on July 10.
The same sources revealed Santo’s intention to exclude a number of local names from the camp since its inception, led by Abd al-Rahman al-Aboud, Abd al-Aziz al-Bishi, Ziyad al-Sahafi, and Hamdan al-Shamrani. And if the Portuguese coach insists on his technical stance towards the four, the club will offer them to loan to local clubs by barter, so that he can benefit from them in obtaining local elements from other clubs.
