The news from Riyadh brings a mix of updates for the Al-Hilal football club. Salem Al-Dawsari, a key player for the team, has rejoined group training sessions after recovering from injury. This development, announced by the club’s official social media account, signifies a positive step forward for the player and the team.
However, there’s less promising news for Habib Al-Watyan, the team’s goalkeeper. Al-Watyan underwent a knee examination on Tuesday following an injury sustained during a previous training session. The injury occurred as Al-Hilal secured a 2-0 victory over Al-Nassr in the final match of the Riyadh Season Cup 2024, where they claimed the title.
Despite these setbacks, the team is gearing up for a crucial encounter against Iran’s Sepahan in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League. Training sessions under the guidance of head coach Jorge Jesus have been underway, focusing on a variety of fitness and tactical drills to prepare the team for the upcoming challenge.
With preparations intensifying, the coaching staff has scheduled an additional training session in the afternoon before the team departs for Iran on Tuesday evening. This proactive approach underscores the team’s determination to overcome obstacles and achieve success in the upcoming match against Sepahan.
