A source from within Al-Hilal club revealed updates on the physical condition of Portuguese player Rúben Neves following the injury he sustained during the match against Al-Shabab in the Roshn Professional League.

Ruben Neves sustained a bruise during the match held as part of the 24th round at the Al-Shabab Stadium, prompting the coaching staff to make an immediate decision to substitute him to ensure his safety.

Coach Simone Inzaghi preferred not to risk the player, opting to field Murad Hawsawi instead, as a precautionary measure to avoid aggravating the injury before upcoming commitments.

Special sources indicated that Neves will undergo a thorough medical examination in the coming hours to determine his readiness to participate against Al Sadd of Qatar.

The coaching staff is awaiting the result of the medical test to determine the player's status for Tuesday's match, as part of the Round of 16 in the AFC Champions League for elite teams.

Al Hilal is preparing to face Al Sadd at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, with a large crowd eagerly anticipating the fate of Neves, as he is considered one of the key players in the team's lineup this season.
