Saudi Pro League fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Al-Ittihad’s captain, Karim Benzema, has been given the green light to play in the upcoming match against Al-Nassr. The highly anticipated clash, a fourth-round fixture in the Roshn Saudi League, is scheduled for this Friday at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.

Recent reports confirm that Benzema is fit and ready for action. The French striker participated in team training sessions ahead of the King’s Cup match against Al-Wehda, signaling his return to full health.
Benzema had been sidelined with a hamstring injury, which forced him to undergo a rehabilitation program in his home country. As a result, he missed several key matches, including league games against Al-Fateh and Al-Najma, and the Elite Asian Champions League match against the Emirati club Al-Wahda.
This Friday’s match is a critical one for both teams. Al-Ittihad currently sits in second place with nine points, tied on points with Al-Nassr, who also boasts three wins from their opening matches. The result could have a significant impact on the top of the league table.
