Tuesday, Amine Gouiri was taken out on a stretcher during the Algeria-Uganda match (2-1) after a clash with the opposing goalkeeper, Salim Magoola, as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in the Africa zone. Hit in the head and shoulder, the Olympique de Marseille striker is announced as doubtful for the upcoming match on Saturday against Le Havre, in Ligue 1.
The Isérois was seen wearing a shoulder support splint following the success of the Fennecs, enough to raise fears of a relapse. In fact, he had already suffered a dislocation in this area at the beginning of September, during the victory against Lorient (4-0).
OM awaits the verdict
According to information from RMC Sporta medical update concerning Gouiri's state of health is expected at OM this Thursday. The medical staff will thus be able to determine whether or not this new injury is linked to persistent fragility, and whether it will require an operation.
For the moment, the situation of the former Rennais has not yet been determined. It should be resolved in the coming hours, whether or not there is a possible forfeit for the 8th day of the championship.
