Alarms are going off around the figure of Aymeric Laporte. The Spanish nationalized center back was substituted in the 35th minute of the first half, in the match between Al Kholood and Al Nassr, with knee discomfort.
The defender of the Arab team was the protagonist in today’s duel, Friday, in which he scored the tie at 16′ after a header from a corner. The central defender has already scored four goals in the 24/25 season.
However, the negative note came after half an hour of the match, when the defender fell to the ground and put his hands on his knee. And there are already numerous injuries that we are seeing in footballers in this joint. And, of course, in this situation the worst is feared.
However, the good news is that the Al Nassr player left the field on his own two feet. Therefore, at the expense of the club’s medical report, we hope that Laporte’s situation remains a mere scare.
Italian coach Stefano Pioli spoke at the press conference after the match, but could not confirm the extent of the injury. “We don’t have any information, we haven’t assessed anything yet,” he said.
