Reports have confirmed the absence of three players from Al Hilal's lineup ahead of their match against Shabab Al Ahli of the UAE, scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, as part of the AFC Champions League elite competition.

Al Hilal will visit Shabab Al Ahli in the seventh round match of the group stage of the AFC Champions League for the elite in the West Group.

Al Hilal will be missing the services of the trio Marcos Leonardo, Salem Al-Dawsari, and Kalidou Koulibaly in this match, as it has been decided to exclude them from the traveling squad.

The three players did not travel with the Al-Hilal delegation to the UAE, as the coaching staff, led by Inzaghi, preferred to rest them, despite confirming their full medical readiness.

The decision to exclude was made as part of a rotation policy, especially after Al Hilal officially secured qualification to the quarter-finals of the continental tournament.

Al-Hilal sits at the top of its group in the Asian elite after six rounds, achieving a perfect score, which gives it a technical advantage before continuing its Asian journey.
