OM worries about Himad Abdelli's health after a violent tackle
Beyond the result, OM sees its midfield Himad Abdelli leave the field after a violent tackle to the left ankle, immediately raising concerns both within the Algerian national team and the Marseille club and requiring a thorough medical assessment.
Absence and medical uncertainty
The Algerian Football Federation has not issued any official statement regarding the severity of the injury. This lack of information fuels speculation among observers. The authorities remain silent.
Algerian media expressed their concern as soon as the first images were broadcast. The footage shows the twenty‑six‑year‑old player moving on crutches around the pitch after the match.
The tackle, described as violent, hit Abdelli's left ankle, forcing him to abandon the match. The incident occurred during the game, interrupting his involvement in midfield.
Concern at Olympique de Marseille as Abdelli is injured against Burundi
No prognosis has yet been given by the doctors. The first images observed after the match do not inspire much optimism for a quick recovery.
Algeria and Olympique de Marseille hope that the injury will not keep Abdelli away from the fields for a long period. Both parties wish a swift return for the key player.
While awaiting further examinations and a precise diagnosis, uncertainty remains regarding the evolution of his physical condition. Medical monitoring will be crucial to determine the possible length of absence.
