Hamad Al-Yami's injury: Al-Hilal announces the player will undergo surgery in Finland

The board of directors of Al-Hilal Saudi Club officially announced the latest developments in the medical condition of first-team player Hamad Al-Yami, confirming that the player requires urgent surgery in Finland. This decision comes after the player suffered a severe patellar tendon injury, which forced him to leave the team's last match early.

Details of the injury and the medical decision

The club explained in its statement that thorough medical examinations revealed Al-Yami had a patellar tendon injury, necessitating surgery to ensure a full recovery and the player's return to his usual level. Al-Hilal's medical staff chose Finland for the surgery due to its prestigious global reputation in sports medicine, particularly in tendon and muscle surgeries, attracting some of the world's most famous football stars for treatment.

Behind the scenes of the injury in the Al-Taawoun match

The injury occurred during Al-Hilal's intense match against Al-Taawoun last Tuesday in the Saudi Professional League. Al-Yami appeared to be in severe pain, forcing him to leave the field. He immediately underwent a series of radiological examinations, which determined the nature of the injury and the necessity of surgery.

The impact of the absence on Al-Hilal's options

The absence of Hamad Al-Yami is a temporary blow to the coach's options at full-back, especially given the fierce competition in the Saudi Professional League this season and the numerous tournaments in which Al-Hilal is participating. This stage requires the readiness of all players to ensure the team continues to accumulate points and compete for titles, placing an additional responsibility on the coaching staff to find suitable replacements during the player's absence.

Intensive treatment and rehabilitation program

Al-Yami is scheduled to travel next week for surgery under the supervision of one of the leading surgeons specializing in this type of injury. Following the surgery, the player will undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program lasting several weeks, during which his condition will be closely monitored by the club's medical staff, who will later announce the exact timeframe expected for his return to group training and official matches.
