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

Preparations for the anticipated Riyadh Derby between Al Nassr and Al Hilal have seen worrying developments, as it was confirmed that several key players will miss the awaited clash in the thirty-second round of the Roshn League.

Al Nassr suffered a major blow with the absence of three prominent players, led by Ali Al-Hassan and Angelo Gabriel, due to various injuries affecting their technical readiness.

Coach Jorge Jesus is looking for alternative solutions in the midfield to compensate for the absence of Brozović, who is considered one of the team's most important pillars, especially given the importance of the match in the race for the top spot.

Al Nassr aims to achieve victory to strengthen its position at the top of the standings and continue its positive results in the critical stages of the current season.

On the other hand, Al Hilal's situation was not better, as it was confirmed that Hamad Al-Yami will be absent after suffering a cruciate ligament tear, in addition to Senegalese Kalidou Koulibaly not being fully fit.

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

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