joao cancelo injury update for al hilal
João Cancelo, the Portuguese full-back for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia's Pro League, has been out injured since November.
The defender sustained a knee ligament injury during a game against Al-Nassr on December 16th and was ruled out of action indefinitely.
Cancelo is one of the most experienced players at Al Hilal and has been a key member of their squad since joining the club in January 2019.
He made his debut for Al Hilal in a 4-1 victory over Al-Raed in the Saudi Professional League on February 17th, 2019.
Cancelo played in all but one match for Al Hilal last season as they finished in second place in the league standings.
However, he suffered an ankle injury in a game against Al-Suwaiq on April 1st, which ruled him out of the rest of the season.
Cancelo returned to training earlier this year but has yet to play again.
Despite being out of action for several months, Cancelo remains a highly respected player in the Saudi Arabian football scene.
His experience and leadership qualities have helped Al Hilal to achieve success in recent years.
It will be interesting to see how Cancelo recovers from his injury and when he returns to action. He is likely to be a valuable asset for Al Hilal in the upcoming season.
