Video: he left in tears: Trezeguet’s injury raises concern ahead of Egypt’s camp

The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah stated that the same injury, “the hamstring”, is the reason behind Trézéguet’s early exit against Al-Khaleej. The Egyptian international will undergo medical examinations and X-rays in the coming hours to determine the exact nature of the injury, reveal how serious it is and clarify how long he could be sidelined from training and matches.

The timing could hardly be worse. Trézéguet was expected to make Egypt’s upcoming camp for the two matches against Angola and South Sudan, on 25 and 29 September, in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

This was Trézéguet’s sixth match for Al-Riyadh this season across the league and the King’s Cup. He scored one goal in the Saudi league and provided two assists, one in the league and the other in the cup.

The result lifted Al-Riyadh to 5 points in twelfth place, while Al-Khaleej claimed their fourth point in thirteenth in the Saudi Roshn Pro League table.

Next up for Al-Riyadh is a trip to face Al-Khaloud on Sunday.
