Al-Hilal striker Malcom will undergo a specialized rehabilitation program during the team's break after experiencing renewed ankle pain before the club's recent match against Nasaf. Spanish doctor Juan Jimenez has designed the treatment plan for the Brazilian forward, who is expected to return before the Oct. 18 league match against Al-Ettifaq in Dammam. The rehabilitation begins on Tuesday after Al-Hilal returned from Uzbekistan, where they secured a 3-2 victory over Nasaf in the AFC Champions League.
Coach Simone Inzaghi has given players a six-day rest period, but training will resume on Monday with youth players filling in for seven absent internationals. Those players will join the camp in Jeddah on Thursday to prepare for upcoming matches against Indonesia and Iraq on Oct. 8 and Oct. 14. Al-Hilal currently leads its western region group in the AFC Champions League with six points from victories over Al-Duhail and Nasaf.
