Jeddah – Saudi Arabia captain Salman Al Faraj will not be able to play in the crucial match of the World Cup. He will be out of the upcoming games as he needs further treatment for the injury. In the medical examination, it was found that his leg bone was injured.

Al Faraj was seriously injured during Saudi’s first and historic World Cup match against Argentina. Saudi Arabia will face Mexico in their next match in Group C. If they win this match, the team will enter the pre-quarters. But removing the captain from the team before the game has been a hindrance. The Saudi coach said that the absence of Al Faraj in the match against Poland is equivalent to the absence of Neymar and Sadio Mane of Senegal.
