Koulibaly return lifts Al-Hilal and eases injury rumours

Kalidou Koulibaly has handed Al-Hilal a timely lift, returning to full training as the new season approaches.

According to Goal.com, the Senegal defender trained fully on Thursday after passing medical checks on a thigh issue, with the report stating he will feature only on the club's Asian list.

The centre-back's comeback quietens talk of a chronic problem and cools calls from some fans to part ways with the Senegalese.

Al-Hilal are targeting trophies on all fronts after a campaign that yielded only the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup despite their stellar cast.

Koulibaly remains under contract until the end of next season. His availability bolsters preparations as the club brace for a demanding campaign.
