The 25th week of the Saudi Arabian Championship has begun between Al-Ahli and Al-Itihad, but what has attracted attention is the absence of Albanian national team defender Mario Mitaj.
The 22-year-old has not been included in Al-Ittihad's starting lineup, but the biggest surprise is that he is also missing from the reserves bench. This situation comes after four consecutive matches where Mitaj has been activated as a starter for the Saudi Arabian champions.
So far there is no official information on the reasons for this absence, leaving it unclear whether it is a technical decision, a physical issue or some other factor.
His absence raises questions even on the eve of the important engagement of the Albanian National Team. Albania will face Poland on March 26 in Warsaw, in a valuable challenge for the World Cup play-off phase.
Mario Mitaj is considered one of the most important elements of the team led by coach Silvinjo. Despite his young age, he has recorded 28 matches with the red and black jersey, becoming a reference point on the left wing of the defense, but also a creative element in the attacking phase.
