Al-Hilal boss Simone Inzaghi has named his side to face Al-Feiha on Thursday evening in the second round of the Roshn Saudi Pro League. Sultan Mandash starts on the right wing, filling the gap left by the departure of Brazilian Malcom de Oliveira.
Otherwise, Inzaghi has kept faith with the XI that started the previous match. Al-Feiha face a largely familiar Al-Hilal, with Mandash on the right in place of Malcom. It is the team's first test since the Brazilian winger's exit.
Al-Hilal's line-up against Al-Feiha was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Yassine Bounou.
Defence: Motaeb Al-Harbi, Ali Lajami, Kalidou Koulibaly, Mohammed Mahzari.
Midfield: Mohammed Kanno, Ruben Neves, Sergej Savic.
Attack: Crysencio Summerville, Karim Benzema, Sultan Mandash.
The hope is that Mandash can cover Malcom's attacking output. The new winger gets his chance from the start to prove he can fill the role in the weeks ahead.
