Al Hilal captain Salem Al-Dawsari will miss the remainder of the Club World Cup with a hamstring injury, the Saudi club said on Saturday.
"Medical tests have confirmed that Salem Al-Dawsari has suffered from a hamstring injury.
He will be undergoing a treatment and rehabilitation program that will last between four to six weeks," Al Hilal said in a statement via X.
This means Al-Dawsari will miss Monday's round of 16 clash against Manchester City.
Al-Dawsari played a pivotal role in Al Hilal's campaign in the Club World Cup, after scoring the opening goal in the team's 2-0 victory over Pachuca on Friday in the third round of the group stage.
The win against Pachuca secured the four-times Asian champions qualification for the last 16 after they finished second in Group H behind Real Madrid.
