Hawsawi announced his retirement from international football on his twitter account just hours before the national team list was confirmed by the Frenchman.

“I will always look to my career with the national team as a source of pride and appreciation,” said Hawsawi, who took part in two AFC Asian Cup Finals in addition to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia.

“Today, I write the last line of this career with the first national team,” he added.

Al Dawsari, on the other hand, will miss days of action as his club Al Hilal SFC announced he suffered a thigh injury in the first leg of the 2019 AFC Champions League semi-final against Qatar’s Al Sadd on Tuesday.

Saudi Arabia shared a 2-2 draw with Yemen in their opening Group D match of the Qualifiers and they will host Singapore in Buraidah on October 10 before traveling to Al Ram to play Palestine five days later.
