Hassan Tambakti's Final Stance on the Match Against Puerto Rico

The Saudi national team's coaching staff has decided on defender Hassan Tambakti's participation in the friendly match against Puerto Rico as part of the final preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

Greek coach Georgios Donis has decided not to field the player in the upcoming match, prioritizing his physical well-being and avoiding any complications that might affect his readiness.

Tambakti continues to follow his treatment and rehabilitation program after the recent injury that kept him from participating in group training with his teammates.

The national team's medical staff continuously monitors the player's condition, intensifying efforts to prepare him in the best possible way before the upcoming official commitments.

The Al-Hilal defender is one of the key elements relied upon by the coaching staff in the defensive line, due to his experience and important defensive abilities.

Donis prefers to handle the player's situation cautiously at this stage, especially since the team is approaching competitions that require full readiness of all key pillars.

Saudi fans hope for Tambakti to regain his full fitness in the coming days so that he can be among the options for the national team in its anticipated World Cup journey.
