Kooora reports Salem missed an earlier list on technical grounds

Kooora, citing Al Arabiya, reports Salem Al-Dawsari was left off Saudi Arabia’s preliminary list sent to clubs before the Asian Cup was postponed. The report says the omission was not injury-related: he did not meet the technical criteria Georgios Donis uses to select players. It also says this does not necessarily rule out a return in a future call-up. This earlier-list account is separate from Salem’s November absence, which Al Jazeera linked to his fitness and the staff’s decision not to risk a call-up.
