### Rúben Neves Injury - Al Hilal

Neves' injury comes at a crucial time for Al Hilal, as they face tough competition in the Middle East Cup. The club hopes that this setback can be overcome and that they can continue to compete at the highest level in the region.
As for Neves himself,Saudi Pro League Focus he has expressed confidence in his ability to return to action once he has recovered. He told reporters, "I'm confident I'll be back on the pitch soon. It was just a minor injury, but it's always important to prioritize your health."
