Saudi national team defender Hassan Tambakti missed the recent training sessions for the Green Falcons, raising questions about his physical condition ahead of the upcoming friendly matches.

It was revealed that the reason for his absence was due to suffering from muscle pain in the thigh area, which prompted the medical team to grant him temporary rest until his condition could be assessed.

The medical team decided to subject the player to detailed examinations using MRI scans in the city of Jeddah to clearly determine the extent of the injury.

The coaching staff is awaiting the test results to make an appropriate decision regarding his potential participation in upcoming training sessions or matches.

The Saudi national team recently launched its training camp in Jeddah as part of its preparations for two friendly matches against Egypt and Serbia.

The "Green" team is preparing to play the first match on March 27, followed by a match against Serbia on the 31st of the same month, as part of their preparations for the World Cup.

The Saudi national team is in Group H of the World Cup, alongside the teams of Spain, Uruguay, and Cape Verde, in a strong group facing significant challenges.
