# Damac: Moussa Dembélé Injured
Damac FC has been dealt a significant blow with the injury of their star striker, Moussa Dembélé. The French forward, who joined the Saudi Pro League club in 2022, has been a key player for the team, known for his dynamic play and goal-scoring ability. However, his recent injury has cast a shadow over Damac's upcoming fixtures.
Dembélé, who previously played for clubs like Lyon, Celtic, and Atlético Madrid, has been instrumental in Damac's attacking lineup. His ability to create chances and finish decisively has made him a fan favorite in Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, during a recent training session, Dembélé sustained a muscle injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for several weeks.
The injury occurred during a routine practice, and initial assessments suggest it is a Grade 2 muscle strain. While the club has not disclosed the exact timeline for his return, sources close to the team indicate that Dembélé could miss at least four to six weeks of action. This is a significant setback for Damac, as they prepare for a series of crucial league and cup matches.
Damac's coach, Cristiano Gómez, expressed disappointment over the injury but emphasized the team's resilience. "Moussa is a vital part of our squad, but we have a strong squad, and we will work together to overcome this challenge," he said. The club is now exploring options to fill the gap left by Dembélé, with other forwards expected to step up in his absence.
Fans of Damac FC will be eagerly awaiting Dembélé's return, hoping that he can regain his fitness and continue to contribute to the team's success. For now, the focus is on supporting the striker during his recovery and ensuring that the team remains competitive without him.
