Reports have confirmed that Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has not yet recovered from his injury, making his participation in the upcoming Al Hilal match against Brazilian Fluminense in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup nearly impossible.

Mitrovic's absence is a significant blow for Al Hilal, especially since he represents a formidable attacking force for the team, having scored 63 goals and provided 15 assists in 79 matches played with the club across various competitions.

Despite his impressive statistics, his recurring injuries have raised concerns within Al Hilal's management, especially since they have caused him to miss several crucial matches during the current season.

According to sources close to the club, management has begun to consider the idea of selling Mitrovic after the tournament and replacing him with a world-class striker who possesses consistent fitness and the ability to handle the pressure of major matches.

It seems that Al Hilal is determined to make changes in their attacking line, given the club's ambitious goals to achieve local and continental titles, which requires players who can maintain full readiness throughout the season.
