Physical Tests Determine Hassan Tambakti's Status Before the Clasico Hassan Tambakti, the Saudi Al-Hilal defender, will undergo physical assessments in the coming hours to assess his ability to take part in the semi-final clash against Saudi Al-Ahli in the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup. The 31-year-old sustained a muscle injury during Al-Hilal’s match against Al-Fateh in the 26th round of the Saudi Professional League. He was substituted in the 28th minute of the game, with Abdul Karim Darcy stepping in as his replacement. Initial reports suggest Tambakti may be available for the upcoming match, particularly after joining the team delegation that arrived in Jeddah on Tuesday. His presence in the delegation has raised hopes of his participation in the highly anticipated classic, which is expected to be a pivotal encounter in the competition. Italian coach Simone Inzaghi is anticipated to finalize Tambakti’s involvement in the match before the game, which will be held at the "Al-Inma" Stadium in King Abdullah Sports City. The match is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 10:00 PM Mecca time, and it promises to be a fiercely contested showdown. Both teams are eager to secure a place in the final, with the outcome likely to have significant implications for their season. The physical tests will play a crucial role in determining Tambakti’s readiness, as his inclusion could provide a tactical advantage for Al-Hilal. The semi-final clash also comes amid a series of challenges for Al-Hilal, including injuries to key players and internal discussions about management changes. While Tambakti’s potential return offers a glimmer of hope, the team must navigate multiple obstacles to achieve their goal of advancing to the final.#simone_inzaghi #al_hilal #al_ahli #hassan_tambakti #custodian_of_the_two_holy_mosques_cup
