Al Hilal Saudi loses its most important weapons before confronting Sharjah

From the source, the Peruvian international Al Hilal striker Andy Carrillo

Peruvian international striker Andy Carrillo will miss his Saudi club Al Hilal until the end of the season due to injury, a source inside the club told AFP.

While Al Hilal did not officially announce the date of Carrillo's return to training, the distinguished striker underwent medical examinations, which sources indicated that he needed a treatment period of no less than two months, which means the end of his season.

Carrillo (11 goals in 86 international matches) suffered a severe injury during his participation with his country against Uruguay, in the South American qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Peruvian team finished fifth in the continental qualifiers, to meet the winner between Australia and the UAE in an international play-off in June in Doha for a qualifying ticket for the World Cup.

The injury of Carrillo (30 years), a former Sporting, Benfica and Watford player, is a painful blow to Argentine Ramon Dias, coach of Al Hilal team, as he is considered one of the offensive weapons of the blue team that is experiencing an uprising after a slow start of the season.

Carrillo will miss Al Hilal's first match in the AFC Champions League next Friday, as an important confrontation awaits him against Sharjah, the United Arab Emirates.

Al Hilal had kidnapped the first tickets to qualify for the King’s Cup final, after turning its delay against Al Shabab to a 2-1 victory after the extension on Sunday at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, in the absence of its star Salem Al Dosari, who was infected with the Corona virus.

At the level of the league, his defense of his two titles in the last two seasons will be very difficult, given that he is 11 points away from the leaders Al-Ittihad, five stages before the end of the season, knowing that Al-Hilal, the runner-up, played two fewer games.
