The Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, the head coach of the Saudi Al-Hilal team, has decided to give the first-team players a four-day break from training during the current international break. This move aims to provide them with some rest after the recent pressure of matches.

The decision by Inzaghi came after Al-Hilal's victory over Al-Najma with a score of 4-2 in the eighth round of the Roshan Saudi Pro League, in a match held at Al-Najma's stadium on Friday evening, during which the team continued its streak of local victories.

A source within the club clarified that the coaching staff deemed it necessary to give the players a physical and mental break after a series of consecutive matches in the league and the elite AFC Champions League, to ensure their full readiness for the upcoming period of the season.

The training is set to resume immediately after the break, with the coaching staff planning to implement a special preparation program for the team ahead of the return to official competitions following the hiatus.

In the coming days, Inzaghi intends to review the team's performance in the recent rounds of the league, as well as assess the physical condition of the injured players to determine their readiness for the next phase of the competitions.

This step comes at a time when Al-Hilal is experiencing a high morale following a series of positive results both locally and continentally. The coaching staff aims to maintain the team's high performance while giving the players a chance to regain their energy before the return of matches.
