Player Hamid Al-Yami, star of the Saudi Al-Hilal club, announced his full readiness to return to participate with the team, giving his coach Simone Inzaghi a significant morale boost before the highly anticipated match against Al-Ittihad in the sixth round of the Roshan Saudi League.

Al-Yami participated in the collective training on Wednesday evening after a short absence due to a muscle injury he sustained during the match between Al-Hilal and Al-Ettifaq, from which he left in the 45th minute to be replaced by Muteb Al-Harbi.

Al-Hilal confirmed through its official account on the X platform that right-back Hamid Al-Yami successfully completed his rehabilitation program and participated normally in training, indicating his readiness to enter the match list against Al-Ittihad.

The player's return comes at an ideal time for the coaching staff led by Inzaghi, who is looking to strengthen defensive options, especially with the pressure of matches both domestically and in Asia, as he relies on the readiness of players to achieve balance in the team's lineup.

The match between Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad is scheduled to take place next Friday evening at the Al-Inma Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, in one of the most anticipated matches of the Saudi league this season.

Al-Hilal is currently in fourth place in the standings with 11 points, while Al-Ittihad follows closely in fifth place with 10 points, making the upcoming classic a real opportunity for both sides to advance in the rankings.
