RIYADH: Saudi national team footballers held their final training session ahead of a friendly match against South Korea on Tuesday. Under the watchful eye of new coach Roberto Mancini, players went through the paces as they continue their preparation for next year’s Asian Cup. Feras Albrikan missed training due to a health problem and Riyadh Sharahili is still out recovering from injury. Chairman of the Saudi Arabian Football Federation Yasser Al Misehal, and the 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).
