Neves refuses to rest and continues rehabilitation at Al Hilal

Rúben Neves, the midfielder for Al Hilal, has continued his treatment and rehabilitation program at the club's premises, refusing to take the rest that the coaching staff has granted to the other players during the current break.

Rúben Neves is suffering from pain in the lower abdomen, which caused him to miss the match against Shabab Al-Ahli in the AFC Champions League Elite.

Al Hilal have announced via their official account on the 'X' platform that the Portuguese player will not participate in team training due to suffering from pain.

Al Hilal's medical staff, led by Spanish Juan Jiménez, is overseeing the treatment and rehabilitation programs for injured players, aiming to prepare them for a return to group training as activity resumes.

The list of injured players includes Salem Al-Dawsari, Gabriel Martinelli, Rúben Neves, and Simon Boubry, with attempts being made to prepare the quartet during the break.

Italian coach Simone Inzaghi has granted Al Hilal players a 10-day break following their win against Shabab Al-Ahli by two goals to nil in the fourth round of the league stage for the West region.

The break started last Wednesday, with the team set to return to training on November 14 in preparation for the continuation of their journey in local and continental competitions.

The international break, along with the postponement of the 13th round of the Saudi Pro League, has allowed the coaching staff to give players a rest period before resuming training.

The Saudi Pro League has announced the postponement of matches in the 13th round as part of a comprehensive review of the Roshan League schedule for the remainder of the season.
