Arriyadiyah reported that Gabriel Martinelli is set to return to Al-Hilal group training after missing three matches through injury, with the return scheduled for when players report back from the long break.
Rehabilitation progress
Arriyadiyah reported that Martinelli is progressing well through his rehabilitation programme and sticking to the plan, which should leave him ready to train when the break ends.
Al-Hilal's break
Simone Inzaghi handed every player a 10-day break after the postponement of the thirteenth round of the Roshn League. That postponement followed the postponement of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.
Injury and missed fixtures
Martinelli picked up the injury during Al-Hilal's 3-2 win over Al-Qadsiah on 23 October at Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, in the eleventh round of the Roshn League. He missed Al-Fateh in the Roshn League, plus Qatar's Al-Shamal and the UAE's Shabab Al-Ahli in the AFC Champions League Elite.
Season statistics
Since the start of the current season, Martinelli has featured in eight matches across all competitions for Al-Hilal, scoring six goals and registering no assists.
