Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of Al-Hilal, confirmed that Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrović will miss the crucial match against Pachuca in the final group stage of the FIFA Club World Cup.

During a press conference, Inzaghi explained that Mitrović is not physically ready to participate in the match, indicating that the player still needs more time to regain his full physical fitness.

Regarding defender Hassan Tambakti, the coach revealed that he has participated in the team's recent training sessions and has shown a reassuring performance, but the decision on his participation will be made after the final assessment in the last training session.

Inzaghi emphasized that physical fatigue is normal at this time of the season, especially after a series of intense matches, which is a challenge faced by most teams participating in the tournament.

Mitrović's absence is a significant blow to Al-Hilal's attacking lineup, which is striving to achieve a positive result against Pachuca to ensure qualification, amid fan hopes for the return of the team's stars in the upcoming rounds.
