Muscle injury rules out Khoukhi

Al-Sadd star Khoukhi Boualem has been ruled out of action after a medical examination revealed a first degree muscle rupture in his left foot.

Khoukhi had earlier been taken off during the first half of the game against Qatar SC, after suffering the injury.

After learning the results of the medical examination on Sunday, Khoukhi is now scheduled to go through rehabilitation and physiotherapy before rejoining group training once he is fully fit.

He is now set to miss Al-Sadd’s next game against Al-Rayyan, which will be played on Thursday at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium.

Al-Sadd are currently in second place in the QNB Stars League table with 37 points after 15 games.
