The Portuguese defender João Cancelo is expected to miss two months due to an injury sustained during his club's match against "Al-Hilal" from "Al-Ahli" in the Saudi league. The club stated that Cancelo has been diagnosed with a back muscle injury and will undergo a full rehabilitation program. It should be noted that "Al-Hilal" suffered a second loss in three games, trailing behind the leading "Al-Ittihad" by already six points. As a result, 30-year-old Cancelo will not be able to participate in the match against "Al-Hilal" with Uzbek "Pakhtakor" in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Asian Champions League.
