The left-back of Al Hilal Saudi Club, Muteb Al-Harbi, has shown significant progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury, as he has started touching the ball as part of his rehabilitation and treatment program.

The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah reported that the player is close to joining the team in preparation for the resumption of competitions following the conclusion of the Saudi national team's participation in the Arab Cup currently being held in Qatar.

Al-Harbi was injured during the match between Al-Hilal and Al-Najma on November 14th. The club set a treatment and rehabilitation period of 5 to 6 weeks before the player recently began the actual recovery process.

Since joining Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023, Muteb Al-Harbi has contributed in 48 official matches, scoring one goal and providing five assists, making him a key player in both the team's defensive and offensive lineups.

The technical staff of Al-Hilal hopes that Al-Harbi will return quickly to strengthen the defense, especially in the crucial matches awaiting the team in the Saudi League after the international break.

Al Hilal is preparing for tough challenges at the end of this month, as the team aims to take advantage of the return of injured players like Al-Harbi to regain technical balance before the official competitions resume.
