Saudi 2-1 against Argentina. Minute 6 of additional time. The entire “Albiceleste” looking for a draw to avoid a historical role.
But there was an unfortunate play. In a ball hit the area, the Saudi defender Yasser Al-Shahrani collided strongly with his goalkeeper, Mohamed Al-Owais.
At first glance, the gravity was not seen, but later in the repetition it is observed how the goalkeeper’s knee hits the defender’s face directly. Terrible images.
Al-Shahrani lay for a long time, with blood on his face, and had to be carried away on a stretcher.
Even Saudi Prince Mohamed Bil Salman lent a jet for the center-back to be immediately transferred to a luxury private clinic in Germany after being in the Riyadh hospital in Qatar.
After hours the crude diagnosis was known. A true ordeal. She suffered a broken jaw, cleft facial bones and internal bleeding. For all this he had to be operated on the same day of the accident.
However, now it was also known that his pancreas was affected by the collision with the goalkeeper and also had to be operated on.
“I’m better. Don’t forget to pray for me,” Al Shahrani said on social media.
Clearly the defender will not be able to return to concentration with his team. He will stay in Germany in recovery and it is not known for sure when he will be able to play again.
