The Saudi national football team has completed its preparations for the semifinal match against Oman, scheduled for Tuesday at Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Stadium in the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup.

Under the guidance of Head Coach Hervé Renard, the team held a training session at Kuwait’s Al-Nasr Club Stadium.

Midfielder Abdulelah Al-Malki did not participate in the session due to a treatment program for a muscle injury sustained during the team’s previous match against Iraq.

Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi underwent surgery for an abdominal injury on Monday after he clattered into a post during their 2-2 Premier League draw with Leicester City a day earlier, British media reports said. 

Substitute Awoniyi rejoined the game after receiving treatment but was limping around for the last 10 minutes. 

The club have yet to respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours in Britain. 

Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis expressed frustration over Awoniyi not being substituted, with manager Nuno Espirito Santo saying the Nigeria international was left on due to a misunderstanding between the coaching and medical departments. 

Forest, a point behind fifth-placed Chelsea, visit West Ham United on Sunday.
