Nasser clarifies Keno's role in Al Hilal formation

Nasser Al-Dawsari returned to the starting lineup of Al-Hilal in place of Mohammed Kanno ahead of the team’s match against Al-Qadsiah in Round 11 of the Saudi Pro League. The Italian coach, Simone Inzaghi, relies on a strategy that includes Yasine Bounou in goal, a defensive quartet consisting of Hossam Tembukti, Khalidou Koulibaly, and Theo Hernandez. The midfield is led by Al-Dawsari and features Robin Nivés and Sergej Milinković-Savić, while the attacking line is spearheaded by Gabriel Martinelli, Crisenteo Samfrill, and Oliver Watkins. The lineup clearly indicates a preference by the coach for Al-Dawsari, with Mohammed Kanno absent from the starting XI, while other players are available on the bench.
