Italian Mattia Retegui, striker of Al Qadsiah's first football team, is close to completing his rehabilitation program and joining group training during the current camp in Girona, Spain, according to a source familiar to Al Riyadiyah. Retegui began his fitness training, including cycling, at the overseas camp two days before his teammates arrived on July 3. Retegui suffered a broken ankle joint during the match against Al Shabab, which ended in a 1-1 draw last April, in the 29th round of the Saudi Roshn League, which kept him out until the end of the season, and he subsequently underwent surgery in Spain, and a rehabilitation period of about two months. Al Qadsiah's camp in Girona continues until July 26 in preparation for the new season, with international players joining the rest of their teammates later after their scheduled rest period.
