Portuguese Jorge Jesus, coach of the Saudi Al Hilal team, intends to make a group of changes to his team’s roster to face Al Ain, UAE.

The Kingdom Arena Stadium, the stronghold of Al Hilal, will host today, Tuesday, the Al-Zaeem and Al-Ain summit in the second leg of the AFC Champions League semi-finals.

Al Hilal lost by four goals to two in the first leg last week, its first defeat this season, at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.

The most prominent features of the Crescent formation against Al Ain

The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah explained in a report that Jesus had regained the services of his Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou for the Al Ain match.

Bono had been excluded from Jesus' calculations in the 4-2 loss in the first leg, due to his desire to rely on a foreign quintet on the field away from goalkeeping.

But in the same context, the Portuguese coach excluded Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly from the list.

Jesus included four foreigners alongside Bono: Serbian Serge Savic, Portuguese Ruben Neves, and Brazilians Michel Delgado and Malcolm.

Jesus will determine in the technical meeting with the players before heading to the field the formation that he will rely on.

It is noteworthy that Al Hilal won the Saudi Super Cup this season, and is close to winning the league title in addition to qualifying for the semi-finals of the King’s Cup and the AFC Champions League.
