Yasser al-Sahrani, who was seriously injured in stoppage time in Saudi Arabia’s historic win against Argentina, will recover in Germany at the behest of the country’s crown prince.
Yasser Al Shahrani’s head injury proved to be serious and he will not be able to help Saudi Arabia any further after their historic 2-1 win against Argentina for the 2022 World Cup.
The 30-year-old Al Hilal full-back suffered a fractured cheekbone and internal bleeding, as revealed by x-rays, requiring immediate surgery.
The recovery doesn’t stop there, which is why Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has ordered the player to fly on a private jet to Germany to continue his recovery.
Al Shahrani was injured in stoppage time in the triumph against the Albiceleste when Saudi goalkeeper Mohammed Al Owais fell on him, kneeing him in the face.
