Injuries hit Al-Hilal's squad ahead of the match against Al-Taawoun

Al-Hilal have been dealt a heavy blow ahead of their clash with Al-Taawoun, with five players confirmed to miss the upcoming match in the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Hilal will be without the services of goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, along with Salem Al-Dawsari, Theo Hernández, Ali Lajami, and Hamad Al-Yami, due to injuries affecting the quintet.

Al-Hilal visit Al-Taawoun at King Abdullah Stadium in Buraidah, aiming to overcome absences and quickly return to winning ways.

Al-Hilal suffered a surprising setback in the race for the top of the Saudi Pro League after losing to Neom by two goals to one in the last round.

Al-Hilal aim to compensate for their recent loss against Al-Taawoun and secure a victory to earn three points, despite significant absences posing a major challenge for the coaching staff.

Al-Hilal's coaching staff is working to manage absences and prepare alternative players capable of filling the void left by injured players during the upcoming match.

Al-Hilal are looking to maintain their strong presence in the race for the top of the Saudi Pro League table, despite the difficult circumstances they are facing ahead of the match against Al-Taawoun.
