Winter signings join Al Hilal in training ahead of Al Fayha clash

Murad Hosawi and Ryan Al-Dosary, Al Hilal’s new arrivals, joined the first-team training for the first time after joining in the current winter window.

The club announced two five-year deals with Gulf's club, without disclosing financial terms.

On Tuesday, the club posted a video showing the players training together.

Al Hilal are preparing to face Al Fayha on Thursday at Kingdom Arena in the Saudi Pro League's 17th round.

Hosawi has appeared 11 times for Gulf this season across the league and the King’s Cup, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

Meanwhile, coach Simone Inzaghi might rely on Ryan Al-Dosary as a second-choice goalkeeper, after Matteo Batoulet left recently.

Depth and humor as fans await the clash

The arrivals add depth to a squad chasing titles, and the ball might just smile at their passes.

Fans are hoping for immediate impact.

Punchline 1: If defense is a joke, these two might finally deliver the punchline with perfect timing.

Punchline 2: If the pitch could talk, it would say, hey new signings, try not to ghost us after kick-off.
