Al-Hilal Monitors Injury Report Before Critical Match Against Al-Najma

The coaching staff of Al-Hilal Club, led by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, continues to monitor the condition of Serbian player Sergej Milinković-Savić and Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, in anticipation of determining their availability to participate against Al-Najma in the eighth round of the Roshn League.

The two players are undergoing precise physical tests aimed at assessing their readiness, with a clear desire from the coaching staff to ensure their full recovery before including them in the upcoming match on Friday.

The Saudi newspaper "Al-Riyadiyah" confirmed that the participation of the duo has not yet been decided, as Al-Hilal is waiting for them to join the team training to make a final assessment of their technical and physical readiness.

Nunez and Savic missed Al-Hilal's matches against Al-Shabab in the league and Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League due to injuries. The Uruguayan forward is suffering from knee pain, while the Serbian star sustained a strong bruise on his leg.

Both players are considered a crucial part of Al-Hilal's system this season, as Inzaghi is betting on their leadership abilities and their impactful presence in both the midfield and attack.

This close monitoring comes ahead of the match against Al-Najma at a time when Al-Hilal is experiencing a high morale, especially after their recent victory over Al-Gharafa with a score of two goals to one, which strengthened their lead in the Western group of the continental tournament.

The Al-Hilal fans hope for a quick completion of the squad, especially with the increasing importance of the upcoming matches on both the local and Asian levels, particularly given the pressure from competitors and the ongoing ambition for titles.
