The current international break has seen many different crises that have hit al-hilal stars with their country’s teams.
Al-Hilal is one of the most international clubs in Saudi Arabia with both the Saudi team and other teams.
Although this characterizes the crescent as having names with a lot of international experience, it represents a strong crisis with regard to injuries and absences after the end of FIFA’s agenda games.
Dosari and Malaki injury
Saudi Arabia’s national team announced the injury of Nasser al-Dusri during the last training before travelling to Tajikistan, preparing to face the fourth round in the joint qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and 2027 Asian Cup.
Al Dosari’s absence from action was confirmed for 3 weeks, the first of the crescent shocks during the international break.
He was joined by fellow midfield star Abdullah al-Maliki, who suffered a knee injury and left the final two before facing Tajikistan.
Saud Abdul Hamid’s shock
Saud Abdul Hamid, right-back of the Saudi team and the al-hilal, was forced to leave Camp “Green” after Tajikistan’s third-round match.
This was due to the death of his father after a sudden health bug, which will affect the player’s psyche before returning to the games.
Mitrovic kick
Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic missed a bizarre penalty with his country’s side during the friendly against Cyprus on Monday night.
Mitrovic took the kick 11 minutes into the first half, but the Cyprus keeper blocked it, becoming the Serbian professional’s third wasteful kick, with two with Al-Hilal and one with his country.
Although Mitrovic missed the penalty, Serbia won a goal without reply, coming from the signing of his al-hilal team-mate Sergej Milinkovic Savic.
Sharp criticism
Al-Hilal’s duo of Saleh al-Shahri and Mohammed Know, the two stars of the Saudi national team, were sharply criticized after the first match against Tajikistan.
Kanu and Al-Shahri did not appear as required, which opened the door to media and public criticism against them, which will affect their psychological condition.
Know appeared at a declining level in the process of linking defence and attack, as well as his continuously erroneous passes.
Saleh al-Shahri also failed to register against Tajikistan to be replaced after only 56 minutes.
