Nasser Al-Dosari Ready to Return: Al-Hilal’s Injury Comeback Date Confirmed
22 March 2026
Return Date and Training Plan
The Saudi midfielder has missed the last five games due to injury.
Reports indicate that Nasser Al-Dosari is set to resume training with Al-Hilal after his injury sidelined him in recent weeks.
Al-Dosari suffered a small toe injury after the 1-1 draw with Al-Ittihad on February 21, in the 23rd round of the Saudi Roshen League.
The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiyah reports that he will return to training on Thursday after a break granted by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi.
He is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the club's headquarters, aiming to be ready for full training upon his return.
The injury has kept him out for five matches, four in the Saudi Pro League against Shabab, Al-Nahda, Al-Taawoun, and Al-Fateh, plus a King's Cup semifinal against Al-Ahli.
Fans hope to see him back when Al-Hilal host Al-Taawoun on April fourth at Kingdom Arena in the 27th round of the league.
At 27, he is a key member, having appeared in 29 matches across competitions this season, though he has not scored and has two assists.
Return Timeline and Team Impact
The return date is awaited by supporters and coaching staff ahead of the April 4 game, which could boost the side’s midfield options as they push for a top-table finish.
Al-Dosari's comeback timing will depend on his rehabilitation progress, with a cautious plan in place to avoid a relapse.
Meanwhile, his availability could influence selection for upcoming fixtures as Al-Hilal chase silverware on multiple fronts.
He has shown versatility this season with regular appearances across competitions, offering assists and experience from midfield.
Punchline 1: If comebacks were sniper shots, Nasser would punch a hole right through the defenders’ gossip column.
Punchline 2: Coach says patience is a virtue; Al-Hilal says, “We’ll take the win, and a coffee afterwards.”
