Al Hilal received a strong boost before the anticipated match against Al Nassr, with the return of their star player Mohammed Kanno to the team’s lineup after recovering from injury.

Kanno has received the green light from the medical staff, making him an important option for the Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus in the crucial match in the Roshan Saudi League.

The player missed the Saudi national team camp, as he did not participate in the matches against China and Japan in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers due to an injury to his quadriceps muscle.

Kanno's return provides Al Hilal with additional strength in the midfield, especially as the team seeks to enhance its lead against a strong competitor like Al Nassr in this awaited encounter.

As the match approaches, all eyes are on Kanno to see how ready he is to participate as a starter; could he be the key to Al Hilal's victory? The answer will be revealed on the field.
