The Saudi Al Hilal Club announced the absence of Joao Candelso, from the stadiums for a period ranging from 4 to 6 weeks, as a result of the injury he suffered during the last team match against the South Korean Guangzho in the AFC Champions League quarter -finals.
Cancelo was a sudden injury during the first half of the match against Guangzho, where he felt pain in the back muscle, forcing him to get out of the stadium before the end of the half, and fears revolve around the extent of the impact of this injury on his participation in the upcoming matches, especially in light of the importance of the upcoming meetings of the Hilal team.
After conducting the necessary medical examinations, the diagnosis showed Cantilo suffered a second -degree back muscle injury, a new injury that differs from those that he suffered earlier this season, and medical reports issued by the club revealed that the player will undergo an intensive treatment program in the coming days.
Joao Kansilo is one of the main players in the formation of Al Hilal this season, as coach Jorge Jesus relies on him, and therefore his absence will significantly affect the defensive and offensive strength of the team in the upcoming matches, which represents an additional challenge for the coach and the technical staff in a sensitive period of the season.
Cancelo is expected to miss many important matches, including the upcoming match against Al -Ahly in the AFC Champions League semi -finals, on Tuesday, April 29, at the Alinma Stadium in Jeddah, and coach Jorge Jesus will have to amend his tactical plans during the coming period.
The Hilal’s medical device focuses on providing the best care for the Portuguese back in the next stage, as it will be subject to a special qualification program that helps him to return quickly to the stadiums, and with expectations in his absence for at least two weeks, Al Hilal hopes that Kansilo will return as soon as possible to be able to restore his physical fitness and participate in the upcoming matches.
