Nuno Espirito Santo Gears Up Fabinho for Al-Ittihad’s AFC Champions League Clash in Jeddah
According to a recent report, Brazilian professional Fabinho is being prepared for potential inclusion in the Jeddah Federation’s lineup for their upcoming AFC Champions League match against the Iraqi Air Force. Fabinho, who joined Al-Ittihad during the summer transfer window from Liverpool, is currently undergoing an intensive treatment and fitness program, aimed at avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
As a result of his ongoing rehabilitation, the 30-year-old midfielder will be absent from his team’s crucial encounter against Al-Shabab this Friday evening, which marks the 12th round of the Saudi League. His return to action hinges on the preparations made by the team’s technical director, Nuno Espirito Santo, for their next fixture in the AFC Champions League.
