Elinekhina likely to miss Al-Hilal clash as Al-Ittihad awaits medical report

Al-Ittihad faces the likely absence of striker George Elinekhina from Saturday's Saudi Pro League summit against leaders Al-Hilal due to injury.

• Al-Ittihad coach Jens Fiesing awaits a medical report to determine when Elinekhina can resume training.
• Elinekhina played 15 minutes as a substitute in Nigeria's 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau after his injury.
• Reports indicate Elinekhina's chances of playing Saturday's Al-Hilal match at Kingdom Arena are weak.
• If Elinekhina misses out, Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri will be Al-Ittihad's only striker in the squad.
