Potential Defensive Blow for Al-Hilal Before the AFC Champions League
The chances of Frenchman Theo Hernandez appearing with Al Hilal in the upcoming match against Al Wahda in the AFC Champions League for the elite are diminishing.
Al Hilal will host Al Wehda on Monday evening at 9:15 PM Mecca time, in the eighth round of the group stage.
Hernandez suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of the recent match against Al-Ettifaq in the 22nd round of the Saudi Roshn League, and he has recently been in the medical clinic.
His participation against the UAE team has become highly doubtful, given the ongoing treatment program and his incomplete physical readiness.
For his part, Italian coach Simone Inzaghi is considering making several changes to the lineup, implementing a rotation policy after securing the qualification spot.
Hernandez participated in 28 matches for Al-Hilal this season, scoring 7 goals and providing 2 assists, with a total of 2,324 minutes across various competitions.
