The experience in Saudi Arabian team comes from Yasser Al-Shahrani
19.11.22 / 08:19
He has been a mainstay in the Green Falcons’ backline since earning his first cap in the 2012 friendly meeting with Spain. He is now one of the most capped players in the squad, with 66 international appearances to his name.
Despite being a naturally right-footed player, he remains the preferred choice at left-back due to his high interception (1.9 per game) and blocking (1.4 per game) rates as well as his high-tempo running up and down the flank.
The versatile defender is equally at home at centre-back and has been a virtual ever-present in his nation’s biggest games throughout his international career. He played an instrumental role in helping the Arab outfit secure their spot at Qatar 2022, featuring in all but two of the qualifiers.
