The French player Moussa Diaby, from Al-Ittihad, is preparing to undergo a final medical examination in the coming hours to determine his ability to participate against Al-Hilal in the Classico of the 23rd round.

Diaby continues his intensive therapy sessions to recover from a bruise on his left hip that has kept him out of local and continental matches, in an attempt to join the team lineup on Saturday.

The match between Al Hilal and Al Ittihad will kick off at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, as part of the 23rd round of the Saudi Professional League, at 10:00 PM Mecca time.

Diaby's situation is being closely monitored by the coaching staff, led by the coach, as it depends on the player's readiness to enhance the team's offensive and defensive options in the crucial match.

Al Hilal tops the Saudi league standings with 53 points, while Al Ittihad is in sixth place with 37 points, which increases the importance of Diaby's participation in attempting to close the gap.

This match represents a real test for Diaby's ability to recover, as it will be his last chance to contribute to the team before the end of the twenty-third round and to continue putting pressure on the top of the league.
