by time news
An end to the worries of Kerala Blasters FC fans. It is reported that the injury of Malayalee superstar Sahal Abdul Samad of ISL (Indian Super League) club Kerala Blasters FC is not serious. The opening match of the ISL 2022-2023 season will be held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on October 7. Although the injury is not serious, it is not clear whether Sahal will play in this match. This worries the fans.

Sahal was injured

Sahal Abdul Samad was injured in a tri-nation international friendly match in Vietnam with the Indian National Football Team. In the 38th minute of the match against Vietnam, Sahal Abdul Samad left the field after being injured in the leg by an opponent’s kick. Then another Malayali superstar K. P. Rahul (KP Rahul) reached the field. India lost the match against Vietnam by 3-0.

The injury is not serious

X-rays revealed that the injury was not serious. X-ray showed no fracture of the leg. However, it is reported that five-six days of rest will be required. Another fact is that after five-six days of rest, Sahl Abdul Samad is unlikely to reach the ISL arena. Because the opening match of ISL is on October 7. India x Vietnam match was on 27th. If less than a week of rest is enough, Sahl Abdul Samad can reach the field on October 4-5. If that happens, perhaps the Malayali attacking midfielder will play in the Kerala Blasters x East Bengal opening match.

His method

According to Kerala Blasters FC manager Ivan Vukomanovic’s style, Sahal Abdul Samad may have to sit out the opening match. Because Ivan Vukomanovic is not the type to aggravate injuries by putting players on the field before they are fully healed. Sahal Abdul Samad scored six goals and assisted one goal in the 2021–2022 ISL, Ivan Vukomonovic’s first season with Kerala Blasters FC.
