23 days during which the captain of Al-Nasr team, Ibrahim Ghaleb, did not appear to the masses, after knee pain detained him in the club''s medical clinic after his team''s match with Al-Ettifaq in the second round of the Jameel League, which ended in a positive tie with two goals for the same.
The Nazarene fans wondered about the secret of the sudden absence of the star of their team without the club''s media center explaining the secret of his injury and the time he needed to return and enter group training.
While a number of fans expressed concern about the renewed knee pain of the leader of the victory, especially since the season is still in its early stages and the team needs a player who forms a great technical weight in the midfield.
The picture is unclear about the possibility of Ghalib joining the Al-Ahly match next Sunday in the third round of the Jameel League at King Abdullah City Stadium in Jeddah.
The coach of the Brazilian Nasrawi team, Ricardo Gomez, had tried Awad Khamis, Shaya Sharahili and Abdulaziz Al-Jabreen in the two valleys that the team fought during the suspension period against Al-Batin and Qadisiyah to rely on one of them alongside the Egyptian professional Hossam Ghaly. Okaz learned that Ibrahim Ghaleb, who remained a prisoner of the medical clinic throughout the suspension period, resorted to taking an oil needle in a private hospital to relieve pain and help him return quickly to the stadiums.
According to Dr. Yasser Al-Beheiri, consultant orthopedic and spine consultant at National Guard Hospital, this needle contains a medicinal substance known as hyaluronate with a sticky property similar to the fluid found in a healthy knee.
And he indicated that this material helps to increase the viscosity of the joint and the coating of its parts with viscous substance, which helps to ease movement and remove symptoms or reduce their severity, stressing that this needle has no serious complications.
It is noteworthy that Ghalib suffered two injuries in the cruciate ligament during the last two seasons, which greatly affected his level, as he appeared at a level below expectations in many matches last season and this season.
