Five players will miss the highly anticipated match tomorrow, Friday, between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr in the Riyadh derby for the 15th round of the Roshn Saudi League. All five players represent Al-Hilal and will be absent due to injury: Brazilian Neymar, goalkeeper Mohammed Al-Owais, left-back Yasser Al-Shahrani, Nasser Al-Dawsari, and defender Hassan Tambakti.
On the other hand, all Al-Nassr players are confirmed to be ready for the match, especially the team's captain, Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo, who participated in team training today, Thursday. Ronaldo sustained an injury during the match against Persepolis of Iran last Monday in the group stage of the AFC Champions League. He did not finish that match, which ended in a goalless draw, and left in the 78th minute after suffering a neck injury from a collision with the Iranian team's goalkeeper while trying to jump for a ball.
Tomorrow's match is crucial for both teams, as Al-Hilal currently leads the Saudi league standings with 38 points, four points ahead of its closest competitor, Al-Nassr.
