Serbia’s Aleksandar Mitrovic, the al-hilal striker, was injured during the al-shabab clash on Saturday as part of the 25th round of the Saudi Professional League.
The 29-year-old scored twice in the first half, before sustaining an injury in the 30th minute, when he received the ball and tried to start hard, before falling to the ground without interference from opponents, in what might be a muscular problem.
Portugal’s technical director, Georgie Jesus, made a change with the exit of Mitrovic and the participation of Abdullah al-Hamdan.
