Saudi national team intensifies training ahead of Oman clash in Gulf Cup 27

The Saudi national football team resumed training last night at the King Abdullah Sports City training grounds in Jeddah, preparing for their upcoming match against Oman on Saturday in the second round of the Gulf Cup 27 group stage.

Head coach Georgios Donis oversaw the session, dividing the players into two groups. The first group, consisting of those who started in the recent match against Kuwait, performed recovery exercises. The second group underwent warm-up drills, followed by passing exercises and small-sided games, before working on attacking tactical drills.

Absences and medical updates

Meanwhile, player Mohammed Al-Qahtani missed the training session due to illness, while the medical staff awaits test results for Nawaf Al-Aqidi after his injury in the Kuwait match.

The Green Falcons will continue preparations this evening with a training session at 7 p.m. on the same pitches, with the first 15 minutes open to the media.
