Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, the manager of Al-Hilal, aims to overcome these absences and secure a victory to snatch the top spot in the Saudi league from Al-Ahli.
Al-Hilal will be without the contributions of four key players against Al-Ittihad. Neymar da Silva, Abdulilah Al-Maliki, Motab Al-Muflas, and Mohammed Al-Owais will all be absent due to various reasons, including injury and lack of readiness.
