Morning Shake-Up: Inzaghi Triggers a Surprise Training for Al Hilal

Match Prep Shake-Up

Saudi press revealed the reason behind Italian coach Simone Inzaghi's surprising decision to schedule a morning training session for Al Hilal on Wednesday.

And though the team trained in the evening as usual ahead of facing Al Khaleej in the 11th round of the Roshen Pro League, Inzaghi's decision slightly changed the calculations there.

And the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadia reported that Inzaghi asked to train at Kingdom Arena today to change the players' routine, since the main stadium at the club is closed for winter maintenance there.

Squad Readiness

And the newspaper noted all players were ready except those on national duty for Africa Cup of Nations.

And this comes after doubts surrounded Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic due to a bruise he suffered recently in training.

And Al Hilal will train last before facing Al Khaleej on Friday at the club's youth facility, evening.

Punchline 1: If planning a training session were a sniper shot, Inzaghi would still land the headline.

Punchline 2: If humor were football, I’d be a forward—always offside, but never out of laughs.
