Al-Hilal's medical staff has intensified the rehabilitation program to prepare team captain Salem Al-Dawsari for his return to group training next Wednesday.
Salem Al-Dawsari has been absent from Al-Hilal since the start of the season, having undergone surgery in July to treat a knee tendon, before continuing the stages of treatment and rehabilitation to regain his fitness.
The status of Al-Hilal captain remains uncertain regarding participation in the upcoming Clasico against Al-Ittihad, scheduled for October 10, in the first match for the team after the resumption of the Saudi Pro League.
Salem Al-Dawsari's participation in the clásico depends on his ability to return to team training in the coming days, after undergoing an intensive rehabilitation program in the past period.
His physical and technical condition will determine his availability against Al-Ittihad, whether he participates in the entire match, part of it, or remains absent until he fully recovers and is ready.
