A press report revealed the expected punishment for Mohamed Kanno, a player for Al Hilal Club, after he was sent off with the Saudi national team against China, last Tuesday, in the second round of the decisive round qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

According to the report, the Asian Football Confederation will suspend Mohamed Kanno for two matches due to his expulsion against China, last Tuesday, which means he will miss the matches against Japan and Bahrain, next October.

Kenu received an immediate red card for assaulting a Chinese player without the ball.

It is noteworthy that the Saudi national team outperformed its Chinese counterpart by two goals, one scored by Hassan Kadish, last Tuesday.
