Tabata is back with the Al Duhail club after recovering from an injury that has kept him out of action for several months.
The Japanese striker, who joined the club last season, was expected to be a key player in their campaign this year but has been sidelined since November due to a knee injury. However, he recently returned to training and is now hopeful of making a full recovery.
"Tabata's return is a huge boost for us," said Al Duhail coach Ahmed Al Mubarak. "He has been out for so long, but we're confident he'll be able to make a full recovery and play at his best."
The injury has had a significant impact on Tabata's performances in previous seasons, as he struggled to maintain his form when playing without the support of his teammates. However, he believes that with the right treatment and rehabilitation, he can regain his former level of fitness and perform at his best once again.
"We've had some tough times over the past few years, but I'm determined to get back to my best and help Al Duhail reach our goals," said Tabata. "I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready to fight and give everything I have to come back stronger than ever before."
