Injuries force Inzaghi to reshuffle Al-Hilal line-up for Al-Taawoun | OneFootball

Simone Inzaghi has turned to squad players as Al-Hilal host Al-Taawoun at Kingdom Arena on Saturday in the 27th round of the Roshen League.

According to Goal.com, his official XI includes only seven foreign players, with others missing through injuries and suspension.

Sergej Milinković-Savić is banned for accumulated yellow cards. Simon Bouabri, Karim Benzema and Yusuf Akçıkçık are injured, as are locals Salem Al-Dossari, Sultan Mandash, Nasser Al-Dossari and Hamad Al-Yami.

Yassine Bounou starts in goal behind Mutaib Al-Harbi, Hassan Tambakti, Kalidou Koulibaly and Theo Hernández. Murad Hawsawi, Ruben Neves and Mohammed Kanno form the midfield, with Malcom, Marcus Leonardo and Mohamed Kader Miti in attack.

Inzaghi has filled the bench with Under-21 options, among them Abdulaziz Al-Jarmoush, Mishaal Al-Dawood, Abdullah Al-Zaid, Mohammed Al-Zaid, Suhaib Al-Zaid and Saad Al-Mutairi.

Inzaghi hopes to overcome the absences and continue their title challenge. Al-Hilal are second on 64 points, six behind leaders Al-Nassr, who have played one match more.
