Hamdallah's Hamstring Teardown: Al Shabab's Season Hits a Snag

Injury Update

Moroccan Abdel Razak Hamdallah, the Shabab forward, sparked a fresh crisis for his club after suffering an injury in the match against Qatar's Al Rayyan, held yesterday, in the Gulf Champions League.

Hamdallah's injury came after an outstanding display against Al Rayyan, where he assisted the opener and scored the second himself, steering Shabab to salvage a precious point after trailing by two.

The Moroccan goal-scorer suffered a hamstring injury, prompting medical tests immediately after the game to confirm his condition.

Medical Confirmation and Recovery Plan

Shabab announced on X (formerly Twitter) that medical reports confirmed Hamdallah has a hamstring tear and needs a treatment and rehabilitation program spanning 6 to 8 weeks before returning to the pitch.

With this injury, Shabab's troubles deepened this season amid ongoing injuries plaguing the Lions, alongside numerous administrative problems during the current campaign.

Note that over 36 games for Shabab, Hamdallah has scored 27 goals and provided 6 assists, totaling 33 direct contributions, making him one of the team's key pillars and most influential players in decisive moments.

Punchline 1: Even hamstrings have better transfer deadlines than some players.

Punchline 2: If injuries were goals, Hamdallah would lead the league with a hat-trick of setbacks.
