- Green Falcons will take part in a training session at the Aspire Stadium on Tuesday, which will be open to the media for the first 15 minutes
DOHA: Players in Roberto Mancini’s Saudi national football team were back in training on Monday ahead of their Asia Cup clash with Thailand on Thursday.
The squad was split into two groups as the Italian head coach put them through their paces. The first included those who had started the match against Kyrgyzstan the previous day, in which the Green Falcons ran out 2-0 winners.
The second included the remaining members of the squad, some of whom could feature in the final group match. The Saudis have already qualified for the knockout stages, thanks to Sunday’s victory and a 2-1 defeat of Oman in their opening game last Tuesday. Thailand are sitting second in the group on 4 points.
The Saudis had a free night after the training session and gathered for an evening together in Doha, the Saudi Press Agency reported. They were due to train again at the Aspire Dome on Tuesday.
