His fitness concerns come ahead of Al-Hilal's crucial second-leg match against Pakhtakor in the AFC Champions League. Mitrovic's participation remains uncertain as he undergoes medical observation.

Al-Hilal striker Aleksandar Mitrovic was absent from training due to concerns over an irregular heart rhythm, as confirmed by the Saudi Pro League champions on Sunday, after reports of his hospital visit emerged.
