Ayoub El Kaabi's season could be over after the Olympiacos striker suffered a serious injury against Volos in the Greek league.
The incident came about 40 minutes into Saturday's match. El Kaabi was inside the penalty area, trying to reach the ball and take it from the home goalkeeper, when the goalkeeper fell unintentionally and his full body collided with the striker's leg.
The injury immediately caused concern on the field. Medical staff rushed to El Kaabi's aid as signs emerged that he may have suffered a fracture. He received first aid from the medics before being carried on a stretcher to the dressing room several minutes later.
Armando โHormigaโ Gonzรกlez had to accelerate his warm-up in preparation for replacing the injured forward. Initial indications suggested that the nature of El Kaabi's injury could prevent him from playing in the rest of the season. He was also believed to have been taken to hospital afterward.
