In the three match days of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, there have already been two episodes that led to severe injuries to the players.
Recall that on Monday, the goalkeeper of the Iranian national team, Alireza Beiravand, suffered a broken nose and a concussion. Yesterday, defender of the Saudi Arabia national team Yasser Al-Shahrani received comparable injuries.
Already in stoppage time of the second half of the match Argentina - Saudi Arabia (1:2), the goalkeeper of the Asian team Mohammed Al-Owais, playing at the exit, crashed his knee directly into the head of his teammate, defender Yasser Al-Shahrani. The football player who collapsed on the lawn, of course, could not continue the game after such a blow.
And the examination conducted after the match determined that Al-Shahrani received a fracture of the jaw and bones of the face. In addition, the football player developed internal bleeding, which required immediate surgery.
Of course, the 2022 World Cup for Al-Shahrani is now over. At the same time, it became known that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman instructed to transport the football player on his private plane to Germany for treatment.
