Savic is available for the league clásico between Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, a return that deals a blow to his opponents ahead of their meeting. The Serbian midfielder had raised doubts after suffering a slight muscle injury while playing for Serbia against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.
After finishing his time with the national team, Savic resumed group training with Al-Hilal. He is therefore available to the coaching staff for the eighth-round showdown. He has also been described as fully recovered and ready to play after the injury sustained during the international break.
The stakes are high in the standings: Al-Hilal have 18 points and sit first, while Al-Ittihad are second on 17. The eighth-round fixture in the Saudi Roshn Professional League therefore brings together the top two sides, and Savic’s availability strengthens Al-Hilal’s options for the match.
