A new injury away from the crescent

Zoran Mamic, the coach of Al Hilal, has excluded midfielder Nawaf Al-Abed from his technical options to face the team against the Egyptian-Alexandrian federation.
Al Hilal will face Al Ittihad of Alexandria Saturday at King Saud University in the eighth round of the Zayed Cup for champions clubs.
The official report of the Al-Osami team on Twitter indicates that Al-Abed was absent from the match against Al-Ittihad, saying: "Nawaf Al-Abed is undergoing a treatment program because he feels an inflammation of the lower abdomen and will therefore be outside the accounts of technical director Zoran in tomorrow's match against the Egyptian-Egyptian federation. "
Al-Abed was barely recovering from an injury after six months of absence that had missed the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
