Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah of Saudi club Al-Shabab has revived hope among his fans after confirming his readiness to return to participate in matches, ahead of the strong encounter against Al-Hilal in the Saudi Roshen League for professionals.

The newspaper "Al-Yawm" confirmed that Hamdallah, who is 34 years old, participated in the team's collective training on Wednesday evening, after fully recovering from a muscle injury that had kept him from participating in recent times.

The Moroccan star had suffered a strain in his thigh muscle while playing with his national team in a friendly match against Kuwait, which forced the coaching staff of Al-Shabab to grant him a therapeutic break and keep him away from recent local and continental matches.

The coach is expected to rely on Hamdallah in the starting lineup against Al-Hilal, given his significant importance in the attacking line, especially in major matches that require a player with high experience and scoring ability.

The match between Al-Hilal and Al-Shabab will take place next Friday at 4:50 PM at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, as part of the seventh round of the Saudi Roshen League.

Al-Hilal is currently in third place in the league standings with 14 points, while Al-Shabab is in twelfth place with 6 points, which gives the match special importance for both teams seeking to improve their position in the competition table.
