The only player playing his football outside of the Saudi Pro League is Lens defender Saud Abdulhamid, who has recently completed a move from Roma. Their attack still boasts the likes of Saleh Al-Shehri and Salem Al-Dawsari but, with the pedigree of European football now under his belt, versatile defender Abdulhamid now has to be rated as the star man for a Saudi Arabian side that, under the management of Georgios Donis, will seek to control and contain – and the 26-year-old right-back, who turns 27 on the day of the final, will be essential to that gameplan.
