**Steven Bergwijn Injury Update at Al Ittihad**
Al Ittihad striker Steven Bergwijn has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a serious injury sustained during their recent training session.
The Dutch forward suffered a dislocated shoulder while attempting to clear a ball during training on Monday evening. The severity of the injury means he will need time to recover and may not be able to return to action until next season.
Bergwijn's absence is a significant blow to Al Ittihad's attack, as he was one of the club's key players in the league. He had already missed several games due to other injuries, but this new setback could further impact his form.
The club have confirmed that they are working closely with Bergwijn's medical team to ensure a safe recovery process. They also announced that the player would be available for future matches if he is deemed fit enough to do so.
Meanwhile, Al Ittihad manager Ali Sadiq praised the professionalism of Bergwijn's treatment and expressed confidence in his recovery. "I'm really proud of Steven and his commitment to his football career," Sadiq said. "He's always been a valuable asset to our squad, and I hope he can return soon."
The club remains optimistic about their chances of finishing in the top four of the league, despite the loss of their star striker. They are currently second in the table behind leaders Manchester City, with 24 points from 18 matches played.
As for Bergwijn's future plans, it is unclear whether he will return to Al Ittihad or seek a move elsewhere. However, given his experience and talent, it seems likely that he will be considered a potential target for clubs seeking a top-class striker.
In the meantime, Al Ittihad will continue to rely on their younger players to step up and fill the void left by Bergwijn. They are also expected to make some changes to their lineup in the coming weeks to improve their defensive structure and increase their attacking options.
