Al Hilal are gearing up to welcome Pakhtakor Tashkent for the decisive second leg of their AFC Champions League 2024-25 Round of 16 showdown.

Al Hilal team news

João Cancelo, Ali Al-Bulayhi, and Yasir Al-Shahrani are sidelined with injuries and won't feature in the squad. The availability of Renan Lodi, Hassan Tambakti, and Sergej Milinković-Savić remains uncertain as they continue to be assessed for match fitness. Meanwhile, Aleksandar Mitrovic was hospitalized due to a rapid heartbeat and could be out for the next few games.

With Aleksandar Mitrovic unavailable, Marcos Leonardo will once again spearhead Al Hilal's attack. The young Brazilian has stepped up admirably in the Serbian's absence, leading the club's scoring charts in the Saudi Pro League and notching four goals in eight ACL appearances this season.

Pakhtakor Tashkent team news

On the other side, Brayan Riascos has been a bright spark for Pakhtakor, finding the net twice in three AFC Champions League outings. The Uzbek outfit will need him to deliver again if they are to hold their ground and secure another triumph. Pakhtakor Tashkent has a fully fit squad, with all players ready for action.
