Inzaghi on the Al-Hilal squad
Inzaghi said Al-Hilal will be without Savinho, Ruben Neves, Martinelli and Salem Al-Dawsari against Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai.
He said he may make major changes but would decide on his final selection after training.
GOAL reported that Inzaghi said Al-Hilal's coaching staff hope to have all the injured players back as soon as possible.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Inzaghi said: "We play many matches in short periods of time, so I have to make the decisions that ensure the participation of the players who are most physically ready."
Despite the injuries stacking up, Inzaghi said: "Our team will compete in all competitions and all contests, because we are Al-Hilal, and I have complete confidence in my players."
