As per a report from L’Équipe, Olympique de Marseille’s Amine Gouiri (25) has undergone tests on his dislocated shoulder, the results of which were positive.
Gouiri was involved in a collision with Uganda goalkeeper Omar Magoola in the 85th minute of Algeria’s 2-1 win in FIFA World Cup qualifying on Tuesday. Gouiri, who suffered a shoulder injury in September, too, had his right shoulder popped back in following the collision and left the field on a stretcher.
The OM forward also left the pitch with a bandage on his head, having hit his head on the ground on the way down. However, whilst a concussion was evoked during the game, allowing Algeria to make a sixth substitute, tests done on Wednesday showed no evidence of one.
Despite positive first tests on the injury, there will be further tests on Thursday in order to determine whether an operation is necessary on the affected shoulder, which was an issue for Gouiri even prior to the injury during the international break.
L’Équipe believe that the player, despite the injury, cannot be ruled out of this weekend’s game against Le Havre AC, although Marseille’s medical staff will be cautious, especially given the depth in the attacking positions.
