Inzaghi Shocks Leonardo Before the Union Match
The Italian Simone Inzaghi resolved the situation of the Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo and decided to exclude him from Al-Hilal's squad for the anticipated match against Al-Ittihad.
Al-Hilal is preparing to face Al-Ittihad in the twenty-third round of the Saudi Roshan League, on Saturday evening at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
The newspaper "Al-Youm" reported that Inzaghi has decided not to include Leonardo in the squad, as the player continues to train individually due to a technical decision.
This decision comes as a continuation of the Brazilian striker's absence from matches since the arrival of the French star Karim Benzema during the last winter transfer window.
Leonardo's offensive opportunities diminished after the coaching staff relied on Benzema to lead the front line in league matches, despite the Brazilian being among the eight foreign players on the roster.
Al-Hilal tops the standings with 53 points and hopes to overcome the obstacle of Al-Ittihad to maintain its position at the top and continue to extend its lead.
