Al Ahli Jeddah Includes Brazilian Star Galeno in Squad for Al Sadd Clash in AFC Champions League Elite
German coach Matthias Jaissle has decided to include Brazilian forward Wenderson Galeno in Al Ahli Jeddah’s squad traveling to Qatar for the upcoming AFC Champions League Elite match against Al Sadd.
In a significant boost for Al Ahli Jeddah 💪, head coach Matthias Jaissle has named Wenderson Galeno in the team’s squad traveling to Doha, ahead of their Tuesday clash against Al Sadd in the fourth round of the AFC Champions League Elite.
The decision came after medical reports confirmed Galeno’s full recovery from a knee injury that had sidelined him for several weeks. The Brazilian underwent intensive rehabilitation sessions under the supervision of the club’s medical team and his personal therapist before rejoining group training recently. ⚽🔥
According to Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, Jaissle received the player’s detailed medical report and discussed a gradual return plan with the medical staff to avoid any recurrence of the previous injury suffered during the Three Continents Cup Final against Pyramids FC.
Galeno is expected to start on the bench against Al Sadd, with the possibility of featuring for limited minutes if his condition allows.
Meanwhile, Al Ahli Jeddah continued their strong form with a 3-0 win over Al Batin in the King’s Cup, securing a spot in the quarter-finals. 🏆
Galeno’s injury first occurred during the Saudi League’s second round against Al Ettifaq, and it was aggravated just 15 minutes into his appearance against Pyramids FC.
