Reports have confirmed that Al-Hilal is close to regaining the services of its Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo before the anticipated match against Real Madrid in the Club World Cup.

Leonardo participated in group training normally, after fully recovering from a groin injury he sustained before the match against Al-Urooba in the Roshan Saudi League.

Leonardo's absence in the past period represented an offensive blow for the leader, but his return now represents a significant morale boost before the strong clash against the European champion.

In this context, reports have revealed the full readiness of Brazilian star Malcolm, who has also returned to participate in the team's group exercises without restrictions.

Malcolm had recently been sidelined due to undergoing an urgent dental surgery, but his return greatly supports the coach's options.

Al-Hilal is preparing for a fiery encounter against Real Madrid on June 18 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, USA, to kick off its journey in the Club World Cup.
