Arabian Gulf League champions Al Ain were soundly beaten 4-0 by English Championship side Hull City in a pre-season friendly in Austria.
Two goals from Egyptian full-back Ahmed Elmohamady and one apiece for Michael Dawson and Calaum Jahraldo-Martin provided victory for Hull, although an injury to playmaker Omar Abdulrahman would have been of greater concern to Al Ain.
After several minutes of on-field treatment for a knock to his knee, the UAE international was taken off midway through the second half.
Al Ain will hope Abdulrahman, 23, will be fit for the start of the new season when they contest the Arabian Gulf Super Cup with Al Nasr on August 15.
