Health Scare for Aleksandar Mitrovic in Saudi Arabia
Former Premier League striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, currently playing for Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal, was recently hospitalized due to a rapid heartbeat, medically termed arrhythmia.
This incident occurred shortly after his return from a hamstring injury, during which he scored in Al-Hilal’s 2-0 victory over Al-Fayha.
Al-Hilal’s medical team has advised Mitrovic to rest and is closely monitoring his condition. It remains uncertain whether he will participate in the upcoming AFC Champions League Elite last-16 match against Pakhtakor.
Since joining Al-Hilal in 2023 from Fulham, Mitrovic has been a prolific scorer, netting 13 goals in 14 league matches this season.
Prior to his move, he had notable stints with Newcastle United and Anderlecht.
The club and fans are hopeful for his swift recovery and return to the pitch.
