Potential Absences for Al Hilal Against Manchester City
Al Hilal Saudi Club is preparing for an anticipated match against English club Manchester City in the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup, in a breath-taking encounter between the giants of Asia and Europe.
Media reports have indicated the possibility of four key players being absent from Al Hilal's lineup, which could disrupt the coach's plans ahead of the crucial match against the UEFA Champions League champions.
Among the potential absentees is Salem Al-Dawsari, one of the team's most important pillars, alongside top scorer Alexander Mitrovic, which noticeably weakens the attacking effectiveness.
The midfield of Al Hilal may also suffer, with news of injuries to Musab Al-Juwair and Abdulilah Al-Malki, both vital elements in controlling the tempo and playmaking.
The absence of these names, if confirmed, means that Al Hilal will face one of its toughest matches with a depleted lineup, increasing the difficulty of the task against Pep Guardiola's complete squad.
