List of Absences for Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in Riyadh Derby

Preparations for the anticipated Riyadh derby between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal have seen worrying developments, as it has been confirmed that several key players will be absent from the awaited clash in the thirty-second round of the Roshn League.

Al-Nassr has suffered a significant blow with the absence of prominent players, including Ali Al-Hassan and Angelo Gabriel, due to various injuries affecting their technical readiness.

Coach Jorge Jesus is seeking alternative solutions to compensate for the absences, especially given the importance of the match in the race for the top spot or clinching the title if Al-Nassr wins.

Al-Nassr aims to secure a victory to strengthen its position at the top of the standings and continue its positive results in the crucial stages of the current season.

On the other hand, Al-Hilal's situation is no better, as it has been confirmed that Hamad Al-Yami will be absent due to a cruciate ligament tear, in addition to Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly, who is not yet fully fit.

Al-Hilal's technical staff is preparing to make necessary adjustments, with Youssef Akhtashik expected to replace Koulibaly, while Muteb Al-Harbi will fill in for Al-Yami in the starting lineup.

Al-Hilal enters the match with great ambition to snatch the top spot from its traditional rival, amid close points and intense competition for the Saudi Roshn League title this season.
