According to Saudi media sources, Riyadh Victory's new goalkeeper
Hondo
is expected to miss two weeks with a muscle injury. The news has had an impact on the team's preseason preparation program.
On July 18, Riyadh Victory officially announced that 25-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Bento has joined the team, signing a contract until 2028 between the two sides. Bento previously represented Brazil in this year's Copa America, but failed to get a chance to play.
Riyadh Victory are currently in Portugal for pre-season preparations. However, Bento suffered a muscle injury during training and according to the medical team's assessment, he will miss two weeks. He is expected to continue practicing with the team after he recovers from the injury to get ready for the upcoming season.
Bento's previous injury record has been relatively good, and apart from missing over a month with a groin injury last August, he has maintained a high attendance rate. This injury is a minor setback for him, but he is confident that he will recover in a short time and play a key role in the new season.
