Overview
- Granada said Zidane and the club’s medical staff will choose his treatment soon after hospital tests confirmed a fractured jaw and chin along with a concussion.
- The injury occurred late in a Granada vs. Almería match when he collided with Brazilian forward Thalys Henrique and left the field bleeding from the mouth.
- Coach José Rojo Martín said the goalkeeper was taken to hospital for observation and further exams following the heavy blow.
- Local reports say he will miss the rest of the club season and could also miss the World Cup if surgery is needed, which would likely push recovery past mid‑June.
- Algeria faces a shortage in goal because Anthony Mandrea and Melvin Mastil are also injured, adding pressure before the June 16 opener against Argentina in Kansas City.
