German Jens Fiesinger, head coach of Al-Ittihad first football team, expects the arrival of Algerian international Houssem Aouar to the external camp in Marbella, Spain, likely next Thursday, according to a source told Asharq Al-Awsat. The same source added that the German coach has set a special program for international duo Hassan Kadesh and Saleh Al-Shehri after they join the camp on Friday. On the other hand, Malian Mamadou Doumbia continued his rehabilitation program in the camp after undergoing anterior cruciate ligament surgery at the end of last season. Al-Ittihad will play its first friendly match during the camp next Tuesday against South Africa's Orlando Pirates, then face Spanish side Las Palmas on July 25, with other teams to be determined in the coming days. Al-Ittihad plays its first match of the new season against Emirati side Al Jazira on August 11 in the qualifying play-off for the AFC Champions League Elite in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital.
