Doubts have increased about the participation of Salem Al-Dosari, Al Hilal star and captain of the Saudi national team, in the Gulf Cup (Gulf 26), which is hosted by Kuwait from December 21 until next January 3, due to injury.
According to the website of the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah, Al-Dosari needs to wear a mask during the coming period, in order to protect his face after he suffered minor facial fractures during Al-Hilal’s match against Al-Raed, last Saturday, within the Saudi Roshan League.
Frenchman Hervé Renard, coach of Al-Akhdar Al-Saudi, is awaiting the results of the medical examinations that Al-Dosari underwent to determine his fate from participating in Gulf 26.
The Saudi national team will go through a training camp until December 20, with the participation of 28 players, which includes 8 training sessions at Al-Shabab Club Stadium, and a friendly confrontation against Trinidad and Tobago before traveling to Kuwait.
The Saudi Greens will open their Gulf campaign by facing Bahrain on December 22nd, then three days later they will meet Yemen, and conclude the group stage by facing Iraq on the 28th of the same month.
