Marcos Leonardo Cleared for Al Hilal vs Persepolis Clash
Marcos Leonardo, Al Hilal's Brazilian striker, has been cleared to play in the crucial AFC Champions League match against Persepolis after recovering from a minor injury.
Al Hilal’s Brazilian striker, Marcos Leonardo, has been given the green light to participate in the upcoming AFC Champions League group stage match against Persepolis, following a minor head injury sustained during Al Hilal's historic 9-0 win over Al Fateh.
During that match, Leonardo showcased his immense talent, scoring a stunning hat-trick that boosted his season tally to 14 goals. However, an injury late in the game left fans and team officials worried about his availability for critical fixtures. According to reports from Saudi sports outlet 'Al Riyadiyah', thorough medical evaluations confirmed that the injury was not severe.
With his return now confirmed, Leonardo's presence on the field will be crucial as Al Hilal faces Persepolis in what promises to be a high-stakes clash. This match gains even more significance as the team's primary striker, Aleksandar Mitrović, is still recovering from a muscle injury he suffered during a King Cup quarter-final game against Al Ittihad.
The coaching staff is optimistic about Leonardo's readiness for the Persepolis match and an upcoming Saudi Pro League fixture against Al Wahda. His recent form has been nothing short of remarkable, cementing his role as a key player in Al Hilal's attacking lineup.
Fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling encounter, with Al Hilal aiming to strengthen their campaign in the AFC Champions League while Persepolis seeks to capitalize on home advantage. The return of a fully fit Marcos Leonardo adds another layer of excitement to this much-anticipated fixture.
