The Saudi national team received a painful blow before confronting China and Japan in the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, after the absence of midfielder Mohamed Kno was confirmed due to the injury.
According to the sports journalist Hamid Al -Qarni, Kno suffers from stretching in the front muscle of the thigh, and will be absent for a period of between 10 and two weeks, which means excluding the two -hiring matches for the green.
The official account of the Saudi national team confirmed on “X” that Kno was absent from the recent training due to the injury he suffered during his participation with Al -Hilal in the face of cooperation in the Saudi Roshen League.
The Saudi team is preparing to meet China on Thursday, March 20 at the “First Park” stadium in Riyadh, where the match will start at 9:15 pm Mecca time, and 8:15 Cairo time.
The absence of Kno is a great loss for the green, especially in light of the importance of the two games in the qualifying course, as the Saudi team seeks to compensate for this absence and continue its career towards qualifying for the World Cup.
