Position: Defender
Born: 31.07.73
Club: Al Hilal

One of the more experienced players in the national side, Abdulaziz Khathran will provide a dependable option in the heart of the defence if either Hamad Al Montashari or Naif Al Qadi is ruled out.

A key member of his club side Al Hilal's Asian Champions League campaign, he is a good choice for a Saudi side desperate to avoid a repeat of their 8-0 humiliation against Germany four years ago.
