Al Hilal club received another blow ahead of their anticipated match against Al Sadd of Qatar, as it was confirmed that striker Darwin Nunez will miss the important continental encounter.

Nunez will miss the match due to suspension, as a result of accumulated yellow cards he received during the group stage matches in the Asian tournament.

The absence of the player represents a significant offensive loss for the team, especially given the importance of the match in the Round of 16 of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

During the past period, Al Hilal's management has attempted to find a solution to lift the suspension, hoping to benefit from the player's services during the decisive match.

However, those efforts were not successful, as the request was officially rejected by the Asian Football Confederation, thereby finalizing the player's status.

Al Hilal is preparing to face Al Sadd under difficult circumstances, given the recent absences affecting the team's lineup.

The anticipated match will take place next Monday at the Enmaa Stadium, as "Al Zaeem" strives to secure a spot in the next round.

Attention is focused on how the coaching staff will handle this absence and find a suitable replacement capable of compensating for Núñez in this crucial match.
