Race Against Time to Involve Karim Benzema in the Match Against Al-Najma
Sunday 01-03-2026
The coaching staff at Al-Hilal is awaiting the status of French player Karim Benzema regarding his participation in the match against Al-Najma in the 25th round of the Saudi Professional League.

The medical teams at the club are intensifying their efforts to prepare the French striker, with Spanish Juan Jiménez overseeing the treatment program in preparation for his full recovery.

Benzema missed the matches against Al-Taawoun and Al-Shabab due to an injury in the adductor muscle, which raised concerns among fans ahead of upcoming commitments.

Al-Hilal previously announced that the player would need a treatment period ranging from ten to fifteen days to ensure full recovery before returning to official participation.

In a related context, Italian coach Simone Inzaghi granted the team players a short break following the postponement of the match against Al Sadd of Qatar in the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The team is expected to resume training on Monday, while Al Hilal currently holds third place with 58 points, aiming to strengthen its position in the standings.
