Núñez Faces Setback Again with Al Hilal Before Facing Al-Taawoun
Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, Al Hilal's striker, suffered a new knee setback during the team's match against Al-Fateh in the quarterfinals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup last Saturday.
According to reports from Al-Youm newspaper, Núñez's injury will require a simple rehabilitation program, with expectations that he will be ready to face Al-Taawoun in the Saudi League on the 10th round, scheduled for December 19th.
Nunez has missed several recent matches for Al Hilal due to suffering from the same injury, raising concerns among fans about the Uruguayan striker's ability to continue playing actively with the team.
Darwin Núñez transferred to Al Hilal from English club Liverpool last summer on a three-year contract, for a fee of 54 million pounds, in a major deal that attracted significant media and fan attention.
In the King’s Cup quarter-final match, Al Hilal managed to defeat Al Fateh 4-1, despite concerns about Núñez's health, allowing the team to continue its journey in the tournament.
All eyes remain on the speed of Núñez's recovery, as Al-Hilal relies on his offensive abilities ahead of the anticipated match against Al-Taawoun, with the coaching staff closely monitoring to ensure his full readiness.
