Mateo Retegui Fractures Left Tibia, Season Over With Al-Qadisiyah

A two- to three-month recovery clouds reported Serie A interest given his Saudi pay.

Overview

  • Medical tests confirmed a fracture in Retegui’s left tibia that rules him out for the rest of the Saudi Pro League season.
  • Media reports say surgery is scheduled in Madrid, with an expected recovery of roughly two to three months.
  • The injury came in a 2-2 draw against Al-Shabab in which he recorded a goal and an assist.
  • He closes his league campaign on 16 goals in 28 matches for Al-Qadisiyah, Saudi Arabia’s top division.
  • Italian outlets had linked AC Milan and Juventus with a move, but his rehabilitation timeline and a reported €16 million net salary complicate any near-term return to Serie A.
