Italian coach Simone Inzaghi of Al-Hilal has postponed his decision regarding the participation of the young trio Matteo Patouie, Youssef Akcicik, and Caio Cesar in the upcoming match against Al-Najma, which is part of the eighth round of the Roshan Saudi League.

Special sources confirmed to "Al-Riyadiyah" that the coach has decided to include the three players in the team’s delegation heading to Buraidah, while their final status will be announced during the technical meeting that precedes the match scheduled at King Abdullah Sports City.

On the other hand, Uruguayan Darwin Núñez missed the team's trip to Buraidah, as he focused on individual fitness training in the capital, Riyadh, in preparation for his return during the upcoming international break.

Nunez suffered a knee injury in the past weeks, which caused him to miss the match against Al-Shabab in the league and Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League. This injury temporarily disrupted the plans of the coaching staff.

Since his transfer to Al-Hilal last summer, the Uruguayan striker has participated in 8 matches, totaling 524 minutes, during which he scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist. He received one yellow card and missed 5 matches due to injury.

Al-Hilal team is in third place in the Roshan Saudi League with 17 points, having achieved five victories and two draws. They aim to continue their positive streak when they face Al-Najma on Friday evening.
