Saudi footballer Ayman Yahya avoids surgery, set to return after rehabilitation

The clinic of Al-Nasr club will host the player's rehabilitation trip with special follow-up from the medical staff of the Saudi national team. Medical examinations that the Saudi international Ayman Yahya underwent on Friday in the Spanish capital Madrid showed that his knee is healthy and no surgical intervention is needed. The medical report, issued on Saturday, recommends only a therapeutic rehabilitation program to strengthen the knee, after which the 23-year-old player will be able to return to matches. Yahya was injured in the match between Saudi Arabia and Morocco (December 8) at the Arab Cup, which led to French coach Hervé Renard deciding to exclude him from the squad and immediately sent him to Madrid for an examination and to confirm the extent of the injury.
