Italian coach Simone Inzaghi stated that the participation of team captain Salem Al-Dosari in the match against Al-Shabab in the seventh round of the Roshen League will be determined after the final training session on Thursday evening.

Inzaghi explained during the press conference that Al-Dosari participated in the team's collective training on Wednesday and will also train today, adding: If his readiness is complete after the training, he will be included in the match list.

The Italian coach indicated that Salem underwent a complete rehabilitation and recovery program throughout the past week, during which he showed excellent physical and technical levels, enhancing his chances of returning to participate soon.

Regarding Al-Hilal's preparations for the match, Inzaghi confirmed that today's training is a crucial station to assess the players' conditions after playing five matches in 15 days, emphasizing the need to choose the most suitable formation carefully.

The coach spoke about the match against Al-Shabab, stating: The match will be difficult against a team that reached the quarter-finals of the cup despite the injuries they are suffering from, and I know their coach well and understand their capabilities.

About the attacking trio of Marcos Leonardo, Darwin Nunez, and Salem Al-Dosari, Inzaghi clarified that the trio possesses high abilities, but readiness is the decisive factor, and one of them may not start the match, while the participation of all will provide additional strength to the team.

He concluded his remarks by saying that thinking about the international break from November 10 to 18 is premature, emphasizing that the focus now is on the match against Al-Shabab, then the match against Al-Gharafa, and afterwards returning to the league, with load management to avoid exhausting the players after a series of intense matches.
