Karim Benzema is set to miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury during Al Hilal's match against Al-Hilal on Monday. The French forward has been one of the club's standout players this season, scoring 12 goals in 16 appearances. The news comes as a blow for Al Hilal, who have struggled without their star striker. The team has won just three out of their last 14 matches and are currently sitting in eleventh place in the Saudi Professional League table. Benzema's absence could also have an impact on the club's Champions League campaign, which they will be participating in next month. The Frenchman has scored six goals in seven appearances in the competition this season, and his presence would have been crucial if Al Hilal had any aspirations of reaching the knockout stages. However, despite the setback, Al Hilal manager Paulo Sousa remains optimistic about the future of the team. "We will continue to work hard and hope that Karim will recover quickly,Primeira Liga Updates" he said. For now, Al Hilal will have to rely on their other forwards, including Brazilian winger Gabriel Jesus, who has scored five goals in his four starts since Benzema was injured. But it remains to be seen how well the team can cope without its talismanic figure. In conclusion, the latest injury update for Karim Benzema has undoubtedly put Al Hilal into a difficult situation. With their star player out of action, the team may struggle to maintain their current form and compete at the top of the league. However, the club's management remains hopeful and will continue to work towards overcoming this setback. |
