As you know, in the second round of the Elite Champions League, the renowned Qarshi club Nasaf will host Saudi Arabia's renowned Al-Hilal. While interest in this match is growing, unexpected losses have been recorded for the Saudi side.
The Blues' leading player, team captain Salim Al-Dawsari, and key midfielder Abdullah Al-Malki did not participate in general training with the team. According to the club's press service, Salim Al-Dawsari was sidelined due to a thigh pain. At the same time, Abdullakh al-Malki continues to be treated at the club's hospital due to a knee pain.
Notably, Abdullakh al-Malki has only participated in one match in the cup competition so far. However, Salim Al-Dawsari is seen not only as the team captain but also as one of Al-Hilal's key figures. His absence could seriously affect the club's attacking capabilities.
At the same time, Al-Hilol has historically earned a reputation as a team with extensive experience and is well-versed in utilizing reserves in various situations. However, the main question for the fans is - to what extent will the participation of Salim Al-Dawsari and Abdullah Al-Malki determine the fate of the important match in Karshi?
Every point in the elite competition is crucial, and Nasaf strives for victory at home. Therefore, the Saudi Arabian team playing without a leader could be a good opportunity for the hosts.
