Ayoub El Kaabi will undergo surgery on Sunday after suffering a serious leg injury during Olympiacos’ match against Volos in the Greek top flight.
The Moroccan international was taken to hospital for medical examinations after the injury. Greek media reported that the tests confirmed a fracture of the tibia, matching fears raised by the violent fall on the pitch.
The injury occurred in the 43rd minute of the first half. El Kaabi reached the ball first during a challenge with Volos goalkeeper Marios Siabanis inside the penalty area, but the goalkeeper fell onto the striker’s leg. El Kaabi then went down in visible pain.
Greek website Sport24 reported that Christos Theos, Olympiacos’ club doctor, would oversee the operation on Sunday, September 6. The surgery is expected to provide a clearer assessment of how long El Kaabi will be out and what recovery and rehabilitation programme he will follow.
