Al-Wahda team received a painful blow before its anticipated match against Al-Hilal, as part of the 33rd round of the Roshan Saudi League, scheduled for Wednesday evening.

Press sources reported that the team will suffer from significant absences after three of its key players sustained unexpected injuries during the final preparations for the upcoming match.

The most notable injury was to the Nigerian striker and team top scorer Odion Ighalo, who complained of a muscle strain in his hamstring during Tuesday's training, which is likely to keep him out of the crucial match.

Additionally, Tunisian star Saad Bguir suffered a sprain in his left ankle during a tactical drill, casting a shadow over the team's offensive plan against a tough opponent like Al-Hilal.

As for goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Owaisheer, doubts still surround his participation after he sustained a thigh injury during the Qadisiyah match, with medical reports indicating difficulty in him catching up with the next match.

In a related context, Al-Wahda team conducted its main training session led by Uruguayan coach Daniel Carreño, who focused on organizing defensive aspects and closing spaces against Al-Hilal's strong attack.

There is a sense of anxiety within Al-Wahda's camp, especially with the season nearing its end and the urgent need to achieve a positive result against Al-Hilal to secure a comfortable position in the standings.
