Al-Ahli host Al-Khaleej on 22 October at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Sports City Stadium in the eleventh round of the Saudi Roshn League. Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah reported that Al-Ahli will face Al-Khaleej without Edouard Mendy and Wenderson Galeno, both out injured. Ivan Toney has returned to training.
Mendy remains unavailable
Mendy has been missing since the end of the last international break after picking up an injury in training. His injury has already ruled him out of the Roshn League fixtures against Al-Fateh and Al-Feiha, as well as the AFC Champions League Elite tie with Al-Wasl of the UAE.
Galeno also sidelined
Galeno sat out the last two matches against Al-Wasl and Al-Feiha with an injury sustained against Al-Fateh in the Saudi Roshn League.
Toney back in training
Toney has returned to training after recovering from the injury that kept him out of the defeat to Al-Feiha.
League position
Al-Ahli sit fifth in the Saudi League table on 18 points, seven adrift of leaders Al-Qadsiah. Al-Ahli have a game in hand.
