National team physician Dr. Abdulmajid Al-Banna provided updates on the health status of several national team players, clarifying that Mohammed Daham’s injury will rule him out of the current training camp. Daham suffered a laceration near his Achilles tendon, which requires adequate time to heal, prompting the medical staff to recommend his exclusion. Al-Banna noted that Mohammed Al-Hawaidi has a minor tear in his adductor muscle and is undergoing treatment with plasma injections. His participation in the team’s two friendly matches against Syria and Honduras will be determined following a review of his response to treatment and an assessment of his condition in the coming days. He added that some squad members joined the camp with bruises sustained during their club appearances in the Premier League, but these had not developed into muscle injuries or tears. He emphasized that medical management is tailored to each player’s specific condition. Regarding physical preparations, Al-Banna stated that players’ fitness levels are currently acceptable, thanks to the efforts of the fitness coach in maintaining and improving physical standards. He stressed that the primary responsibility for players’ basic physical conditioning lies with their clubs, while the national team’s technical staff builds upon the fitness levels the players have already achieved. He also noted that the nutrition department has prepared a dietary plan for the players in coordination with the hotel housing the Blue Team delegation, explaining that the current mild weather reduces the need for excessive dietary supplements compared to training periods in hot conditions.
