In a shocking incident, an international footballer has been rushed to the hospital and is currently in intensive care after falling from a second-floor balcony.
The player sustained multiple fractures as a result of the fall.
Incident Details and Investigation
The fall reportedly took place between 9 am and 10 am on Thursday.
Authorities are now reviewing footage from street and home cameras to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Identity and Career Background
The footballer, who represented his nation at the 2018 World Cup, has been identified as Fahad Al-Muwallad.
According to Dubaieye1038, Al-Muwallad was injured at his home in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
At 30 years old, Al-Muwallad plays for Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League and has been capped 78 times by Saudi Arabia.
His career began at Al-Ittihad, followed by a loan spell at Levante, before joining Al-Shabab in 2022.
Recent Challenges and Return to Football
Al-Muwallad faced a significant setback when he was removed from Saudi Arabia’s 2022 World Cup squad due to a precautionary doping case.
Although initially banned from football activities for 18 months starting March of that year, his suspension was later reduced.
The ban came after an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Despite these challenges, Al-Muwallad has made a return to international football.
Current Condition and Next Steps
As the footballer remains in intensive care, updates on his condition are eagerly awaited.
The investigation into the incident continues as authorities seek to piece together what happened during the fall.
