Abderrazak Hamdallah will miss Al-Taawoun's upcoming fixture against Al-Hilal this Saturday due to a hamstring injury sustained during the club's recent league campaign. The Moroccan forward's absence represents a significant blow to Al-Taawoun's hopes in the seventh round of the Saudi Roshn League encounter at Buraidah Stadium.
Injury Timeline and Recovery Schedule
Hamdallah picked up the hamstring injury during Al-Taawoun's goalless draw with Al-Fateh last weekend in round five of the Saudi Roshn League. The injury forced him to sit out Tuesday's sixth-round fixture against Al-Hazm, where Al-Taawoun suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at home. Medical staff have confirmed the striker requires a seven-day treatment period, which rules him out of the Al-Hilal match scheduled for this Saturday.
Since his arrival from Al-Shabab during the summer transfer window, Hamdallah has made six appearances for Al-Taawoun, contributing three goals and one assist to the club's domestic campaign. His absence disrupts the attacking rhythm of a side looking to challenge for the Roshn League title against the league leaders.
AFC Champions League Return in Sight
There is brighter news on the horizon for the Moroccan striker. According to reports, Hamdallah could potentially return to action for Al-Taawoun's AFC Champions League 2 fixture against Oman's Al-Nahda on 16 September, provided his recovery progresses as planned. This timeline suggests the injury, while requiring immediate rest, is not expected to have long-term implications for his season.
The Al-Hilal match will test Al-Taawoun's depth in the forward department as they prepare for one of the Saudi Roshn League's most anticipated encounters of the early season.
