The final medical examination undergone by French left-back Theo Hernandez of Al-Hilal has resolved doubts over his availability for the upcoming derby against Al-Nassr, scheduled for Tuesday evening.
Al-Hilal will face Al-Nassr at Al-Awwal Park in Matchday 32 of the Saudi Pro League. Hernandez had left the pitch with an injury just minutes before the end of Al-Hilal’s match against Al-Khulud, where he scored the goal that secured his team’s King Cup triumph.
According to Saudi newspaper *Al-Riyadiah*, the tests Hernandez underwent were reassuring, confirming that his injury is not serious and that he will be fit to feature in the derby as usual. Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, Al-Hilal’s manager, had been concerned about losing Hernandez for this crucial clash, which will largely determine the Saudi Pro League title race.
