Hamad Al-Yami's surgery was successful, and his season with Al-Hilal has officially ended
Al-Hilal Saudi Club officially announced the success of the surgery that the first team's football defender, Hamad Al-Yami , underwent this morning in Finland, to treat the injury he recently suffered in his knee, specifically in the "patella" area.
Details of the surgical procedure in Finland
The surgery was performed under the supervision of the world-renowned surgeon Lasse Lempainen , one of the leading specialists in sports injuries worldwide, whose services are sought by football stars from various major European leagues. Al-Hilal's team doctor was present in Finland to oversee all medical procedures and monitor the player's condition from the moment of his arrival until his departure from the operating room, ensuring that everything was conducted according to the highest medical standards.
Behind the scenes of the injury and the timing of his absence
The injury occurred during the intense match between Al-Hilal and Al-Taawoun, in the tenth round (postponed) of the Saudi Professional League . Al-Yami experienced severe pain, forcing him to leave the field and not complete the match. Subsequent medical examinations revealed that he required immediate surgery to ensure a full recovery and prevent further injury.
Duration of absence and its impact on Al-Hilal
According to initial medical reports and the official statement, Hamad Al-Yami is expected to be sidelined for up to six months , officially ending his current season with Al-Hilal. This absence is a blow to the team's manager, especially given Al-Hilal's fierce competition on multiple fronts: domestically in the league and the King's Cup, and continentally in the AFC Champions League, where the team relies on player rotation to avoid fatigue.
Rehabilitation program and return to the field
Once he recovers from surgery, Al-Yami is scheduled to begin an intensive treatment and rehabilitation program, prepared in advance in coordination between the Finnish surgeon and Al-Hilal's medical staff. The program aims to strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee and gradually restore his fitness, paving the way for his return to group training at the start of preparations for the new football season, so he can be ready to support the Blues in upcoming matches.
