Abdullah Al-Shahrani is not known for his goalscoring prowess.

In fact don't expect to see too much of this midfielder in attacking positions.

His strength is on the defensive side of the team and the tough-tackler is often found on the edge of his own area breaking up attacks.

Plays for the Al Shabab club back home where he is regarded as a vital link in the team.

Formed part of the Saudi squad at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, USA, and recently scored in a warm-up game aginst Uruguay to help cement his place in the squad.
