Steven Bergwijn, the former Dutch international striker, has been ruled out for at least another month after sustaining an ankle injury during his club's recent match against Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
Bergwijn was seen on camera practicing with the team's senior squad before the match, but it appears he sustained an injury while training and is currently undergoing treatment in hospital. The injury is not considered to be serious, but Bergwijn will need to undergo further testing and treatment to determine the extent of his injury.
The news comes as Bergwijn struggled to score goals during the recent season, which saw him score only four goals in all competitions. He also suffered from injuries that affected his performance in recent matches, including a hamstring strain in the previous game against Al Ahly.
Despite this setback, Bergwijn remains confident that he can return to form soon and continue to contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season. The injury update may have added to the pressure on the striker, who has already faced criticism for his performances in recent years.
As Bergwijn continues to recover from his latest injury, it remains to be seen how long he will be out of action. But given his talent and experience, it is likely that he will be back in the starting lineup for the upcoming season, just like he did last year when he returned to full fitness.
