Savic Returns: Hilal Set for Gulf Clash as Injury Worries Subside
24 December 2025
Sav ic cleared to feature in Friday's Gulf clash
Italian coach Simone Inzaghi has decided Sergej Savic will be available for Al Hilal's Roshen Pro League match against Al Khalij, scheduled to be played at Kingdom Arena on Friday (Round 11).
Injury update and latest training
Saudi daily Al Yaom reports Savic is fit to boost the squad after taking part in the team's training session. The Serbian had suffered an injury in the win over Sharjah but has recovered fully and is back in training with the squad.
Recent results and standings
Al Hilal recently overcame Sharjah 1-0, with a goal from Brazilian Malcolm in the previous match, within the AFC Champions League.
The champions sit second in the Saudi Pro League with 23 points, four behind leaders Al Nassr, while Al Khalij ranks sixth with 14 points.
Sniper jokes to close: If scoring were a sniper’s target, Savic would be hitting bullseyes all season — just make sure the ammunition is a good pass. Also, Inzaghi’s playbook reads like a precision guide: aim, time, score, repeat.
