Al-Hilal lose Rúben Neves against Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Pro League

It has been confirmed that Portuguese player Rúben Neves, of Al-Hilal, will miss the upcoming match against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League, after receiving four yellow cards during the current season, meaning he is required to sit out as a result of the suspension.

Rúben Neves received his fourth yellow card during the match against Al-Fateh, which took place on Saturday evening at the Kingdom Arena, as part of the Saudi Pro League's twelfth round, after the referee showed him the yellow card in the 74th minute.

The Portuguese player previously received three yellow cards against Al Khaleej in the 4th round, Al-Ittihad during the 8th round, and Al-Qadsiah in the 11th round, before completing his tally with the last caution against Al-Fateh.

Al-Hilal secured the match in their favor with a two-goal victory, having opened the scoring through Ollie Watkins in the 12th minute, before Rúben Neves added the second goal during stoppage time of the second half, specifically in the 91st minute.

Al-Hilal has increased its tally to 30 points after securing its tenth victory in the competition, maintaining its lead in the Saudi Pro League, despite losing Rúben Neves for the upcoming match against Al-Ettifaq due to suspension.
