The coaching staff of the Saudi national team, led by Hervé Renard, announced the exclusion of player Salem Al-Dawsari from the current training camp in Jeddah, following an evaluation of his medical condition in recent hours.

The decision was based on the medical reports submitted by Al Hilal Club, which included the results of the MRI scan concerning the player's knee injury.

Al-Dosari underwent additional examinations upon his arrival at the training camp, where the medical team conducted a thorough clinical assessment to determine his readiness to participate.

The results showed that the player needs a treatment and rehabilitation program at this time, prompting the coaching staff to make the decision to exclude him to ensure his safety.

The Al-Hilal star will miss the friendly matches against Egypt and Serbia, at a time when he was relied upon as one of the key players of the team during the international break.

The absence of Al-Dosari represents a technical loss for the national team, given his significant importance within the lineup, especially with the approach of major events, foremost among them the 2026 World Cup.
