Al-Ettifaq has revealed the latest updates on the health status of players Rayane Messi and Álvaro Medrán ahead of the anticipated clash against Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.


Al-Ettifaq are preparing to face Al-Ittihad on October 20, in the 10th round of the Saudi Pro League, amid questions about the possibility of the team relying on the duo for the upcoming match.


Al-Ettifaq's official account on the platform 'X' has clarified that Spanish player Álvaro Medrán underwent a cleaning procedure on his toe, indicating that the expected recovery time is five days.


On the other hand, Rayane Messi is suffering from a strain in the medial ligament, with estimates suggesting he will need about ten days to recover, putting his participation against Al-Ittihad in a difficult position.


Álvaro Medrán has a chance to participate in the match, depending on his response to treatment and whether he can return to team training before the encounter, while Rayane Messi's participation remains in doubt due to the expected duration of his absence.
