Al-Hilal defender Kalidou Koulibaly is sidelined with a minor injury, reportedly a hematoma caused by a blood clot, raising concern among fans.
This delicate medical situation has placed the player under close observation, making his availability uncertain for the Saudi club’s upcoming crucial matches.
The Rock’s return to competition will depend entirely on his response to the medical treatment he receives; To expedite his treatment, the player is expected in Jeddah between today and tomorrow.
This return to Saudi Arabia marks the start of a race against time for the medical staff, who will need to assess the progress of the hematoma’s resolution on a daily basis before giving the green light for him to resume team training.
The goal is to enable Koulibaly to catch up physically so he can be ready for the quarterfinals, provided his team qualifies.
His presence in defense would be a major asset in stabilizing the back line during the knockout stages.
The entire French squad is now hoping that the treatment will yield results quickly so they can count on their defensive leader for the final stretch.
