Al Hilal Club announced the absence of its defender Ali Al-Bulahi from the collective training held on Tuesday evening as part of the team's current camp in Germany in preparation for the new season.

The club explained in an official statement that the reason for the absence is due to Al-Bulahi feeling pain in his ankle, which prompted the medical staff to grant him temporary rest and closely monitor his condition.

Al Hilal continues its external preparation program with intensive training under the supervision of the coaching staff led by Portuguese Jorge Jesus, as the team aims to enhance its physical and technical readiness.

Al Hilal is scheduled to play its first friendly match this evening, Wednesday, against the German team Balingen, as part of a series of trial matches included in the camp.

The coaching staff hopes to quickly restore Al-Bulahi's services, given his importance in the defense line, while the medical team is keen not to take any risks with his participation before fully assuring his condition.
