Good news for Roberto Martínez! Rúben Neves is almost fully recovered from a thigh muscle injury, coincidentally the same type of injury suffered by compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr, with a strong possibility of returning to competition next Saturday against Al Fateh, managed by José Gomes. According to Saudi press, the Portuguese international is successfully following the rehabilitation program outlined by the head of the medical department at Al Hilal, Spanish Juan Jiménez. The expectation is that, after a final assessment of his physical condition this week, the midfielder will rejoin training with the rest of the squad. The final decision regarding his participation in the 26th round of the Saudi league will be made 48 hours before the match, but optimism is high. This will be the penultimate game before Portugal's training camp at the end of March, and the coach is unsure if he will be able to count on CR7. Rúben Neves was injured during the match against Al Shabab, having to leave the field in the 51st minute on the orders of Inzaghi, who brought on Murad Hawsawi in his place.
