Zakaria Hawsawi Misses Al-Ahli’s Showdown with Al-Wehda
Zakaria Hawsawi, the talented left-back for Al-Ahli, will miss the highly anticipated matchup against UAE’s Al-Wehda. This clash will take place in the seventh round of the AFC Champions League.
Key Match Details
The game is scheduled for Monday at Al Nahyan Stadium, starting at 4:45 PM. Fans were eager to see Hawsawi in action, but unfortunate circumstances have led to his absence.
Health Concerns for Hawsawi
According to reports from the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah, Hawsawi experienced a sudden illness just hours before the team’s departure to Abu Dhabi. Consequently, he remained in Jeddah instead of traveling with the team.
Club’s Decision
The club’s medical team assessed Hawsawi’s condition and deemed it necessary for him to rest. The decision was made to exclude Hawsawi from the match squad to prioritize his health and recovery.
Other Absentees
Hawsawi is not the only player missing from the lineup. Al-Ahli will face Al-Wehda without several key figures, including:
- Merih Demiral (Turkey, Defender)
- Galeno Wenderson (Brazil, Forward)
The absence of these players puts additional pressure on the remaining squad as they prepare for a crucial match in the AFC Champions League. Fans and experts alike will be watching closely to see how Al-Ahli adapts without these significant contributors.
The upcoming showdown against Al-Wehda promises to be a challenge for Al-Ahli, but the team remains hopeful for a positive result despite the setbacks.
