Jorge Jesus, the Portuguese coach of Al-Hilal Saudi Club, announced the return of Salman Al-Faraj, the team’s captain, to the starting lineup following an absence that lasted for 43 days.

This return came during the trial match between Al Hilal and Al Shoala team, as part of the team’s preparations during the current hiatus.

This decision comes following a period of absence from the stadiums as a result of a “disciplinary” penalty imposed by Jesus on Al-Faraj, which led to his absence from important matches for Al-Hilal in the Saudi League.

This period witnessed the absence of Al-Faraj from three consecutive matches once morest Al-Wahda, Abha and Al-Fayha.

In a related context, Al Hilal was able to achieve a great victory with three unanswered goals in the test match, as the match also witnessed the participation of the young player Nayef Ziad as a starting right back for the first time with the first team.

On the other hand, Jesus decided to close the match in front of the fans and the media in order to increase focus and prepare more effectively.

Al Hilal’s starting lineup included the presence of several prominent players, such as Habib Al-Watyan, Mohamed Jahfali, and Serbian Alexander Mitrovic.

Commenting on his essential presence in the match, Salman Al-Faraj confirmed, saying: “I am always ready to give what is precious to the team. An enjoyable match. May God grant us success and we will win, and God willing, the national team will win as well.”

On the other hand, the new Brazilian player, Renan Lodi, arrived at the club headquarters, where he met with the technical and administrative staff and his fellow players.
