The first football team of Al Hilal Club is preparing for an important match against Al Gharafa from Qatar in the fourth round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League, amid a clear shortage in its ranks.

Al Hilal will miss the efforts of four influential players in this anticipated match, which poses a significant challenge for the coach in preparing the most suitable lineup to navigate this sensitive continental stage.

The list of absences includes international defender Hassan Tambakti, along with his defensive teammate Ali Al Bulayhi, meaning that the blue defense enters the match without its two main players.

Midfielder Serbian Sergej Savic is also absent, while the team also loses one of its most important attacking elements this season, the Uruguayan star Darwin Nunez.

These significant absences come at a critical stage of the Asian competition, which compels the technical staff to diversify options and rely on substitutes to compensate for the shortage.

Al Hilal's fans are eager to see the team's reaction under these circumstances, especially since a victory would enhance their chances of qualifying and prove their ability to overcome difficulties and continue the continental journey with confidence.
