Al-Hilal Captain Al-Dawsari Out of Club World Cup with Hamstring Injury
June 28 (Reuters) - Al-Hilal captain Salem Al-Dawsari will miss the remainder of the Club World Cup with a hamstring injury, the Saudi club said on Saturday.
"Medical tests have confirmed that Salem Al-Dawsari has suffered from a hamstring injury. He will be undergoing a treatment and rehabilitation program that will last between four to six weeks," Al-Hilal said in a statement via X.
This means Al-Dawsari will miss Monday's round of 16 clash against Manchester City.
Al-Dawsari played a pivotal role in Al-Hilal's campaign in the club world cup, after scoring the opening goal in the team's 2-0 victory over Pachuca on Friday in the third round of the group stage.
The win against Pachuca secured the four-times Asian champions qualification for the last 16 after they finished second in Group H behind Real Madrid.

Who is Chelsea wonderkid Camden Schaper and how much did the Blues pay for him?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHELSEA beat Manchester City in the race to sign teen sensation Camden Schaper from Blackburn. The Blues paid a reported £700,000 for the wonderkid — here we take a look at what all the fuss is about. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Camden Schaper, pictured here agreeing his Adidas deal, has signed for the Chelsea Academy Credit: Camden Schaper instagram Who is Camden Schaper? Camden Cesc Schaper is a highly promising 13-year-old South African footballer who has recently emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in the sport. Born in Benoni, South Africa, Camden began his football journey at a young age, initially playing for SuperSport United. He gained early international attention when he captained the SuperSport United under-11 team during a successful tour of Spain in 2021. His performances on that tour caught the eye of scouts from major European clubs, including Sporting Lisbon. They also caught the eye of top sport brand Adidas, who signed the prodigious prospect when he was just 12. Sharing the happy news, Camden posted on Instagram: "Just a kid from Africa but here we are, dreams are valid, I'm pleased to announce I have signed for Adidas, thank you to everyone who made this happen. "God is good. Proud to represent the biggest brand in football doing what I love the most playing football." After relocating to England with his family in 2024, Camden joined Blackburn, where he continued to shine. In the 2024/25 season, playing for the Rovers' U14s, he scored an impressive 45 goals and provided 65 assists, showcasing his exceptional ability as an attacking midfielder and playmaker. His technical skills, vision and goal-scoring prowess quickly made him a standout player, attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in the Premier League, including Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United. Why Chelsea could sign Garnacho | Transfers Exposed City were especially hoping to win the race for Camden — his younger brother Astin was already on their books. But Chelsea ultimately secured Camden's signature, paying Blackburn approximately £700,000 — around 17million South African Rand. This fee is the highest ever paid for a footballer of just 13 years old, far surpassing the previous record set in 2017 when Manchester City signed Finley Burns for a reported £175,000. As this no doubt highlights, there is intense competition among elite clubs to secure the best young talent as early as possible. Camden's transfer has generated excitement among fans and experts alike, who see him as a potential future superstar capable of making a major impact at the highest level of the game. The South African teen prodigy's remarkable performances at youth level have earned him a record-breaking move to Chelsea as the most expensive 13-year-old player ever signed. The Blues are yet to release a statement about signing the wonderkid, but this is typical for transfers involving players under the age of 16. Premier League clubs do not generally announce or publicly comment on academy signings.

Revealed: Tyson Fury's fortune rose from £82m to £162m in 2024 after first fight with Oleksandr Usyk with retired boxer's company continuing to rake in more millions from investments
Tyson Fury 's fortune almost doubled from £82.3 million to £162 million last year, it can be revealed. Fury's boxing company show reserves rocketed by £80 million after his first fight with Olekasander Usyk in May last year. But despite the mega boost to his worth Fury took a modest dividend payout of £100,000 compared to £150,000 the year before. Details are published in accounts for Tyson Fury Limited which channels the boxer's income from fights in the 12 months up to the end of September last year. The company holds cash reserves of £7.5 million, but the bulk of his fortune is held in unspecified investments which rocketed to £176.7 million from £108.8million. The overall value of his fortune is reduced because creditors are owed just over £28 million. Fury lost the World Heavyweight bout with Usyk in May last year, and was defeated a second time in a rematch in December. The figures for the second bout, also fought in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, are not included in the latest accounts. And that means that his fortune is now likely to be way in excess of £200 million. The financial details mean that firm's financial clout is now very close to London rival Anthony Joshua's fortune. Joshua's Sparta Promotions Limited is worth almost £150 million and his 258 Marketing Limited £35 million. Last week friends of Fury said he was definitely retired although he was not at peace after the controversial loss to sky in December which was decided on three judges scoring his rival as the winner. He told WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman he was glad to have quit. Sulaiman said: 'I call him regularly and he said: 'Oh I'm so happy, retired, I'm here with my wife. 'He didn't hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back. 'He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. 'He's still very bitter about the judges' scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that's what he said.'
