ORLANDO (Florida), June 28 — Al-Hilal captain Salem Al-Dawsari has been ruled out of the remainder of the Club World Cup due to a hamstring injury, the Saudi club announced today.

"Medical tests have confirmed that Salem Al-Dawsari is suffering from a hamstring injury. He will undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program lasting between four to six weeks," Al-Hilal said in a statement on X.

As a result, Al-Dawsari will miss Monday’s round of 16 match against Manchester City.

The midfielder played a key role in Al-Hilal’s Club World Cup campaign, scoring the opening goal in their 2-0 victory over Pachuca on Friday during the third round of the group stage.

The win secured Al-Hilal’s place in the last 16, finishing second in Group H behind Real Madrid. — Reuters
