RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s national team have held their training sessions ahead of a friendly match against South Korea on Tuesday.

Under the watchful eye of new coach Roberto Mancini, the players were put through their paces as they continue to prepare for next year’s Asian Cup.

Feras Albrikan missed training due to a health problem and Riyadh Sharahili is still out recovering from injury.

Yasser Al-Misehal, chairman of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, and the SAFF’s Secretary-General Ibrahim Al-Qassim, were present at the session.

The last encounter, in 2018, between Saudi Arabia and South Korea ended goalless. The match will be played at St. James’ Park, Newcastle, at 5:30 p.m. (local time).
