Granada's goalkeeper Luka Zidane suffered a serious injury in the match against Almeria in the second division of the Spanish championship. The twenty-seven-year-old goalkeeper was forced to leave the field after a collision with an opposing striker.
Idman.Biz reports that he was initially diagnosed with a concussion, but it was later revealed that the player had fractured his jaw and submandibular area. Zidane, who has already undergone a successful operation, shared on his social media account that he has started the recovery process.
It should be noted that Luka, who recently changed his sports citizenship and chose the Algerian national team, may miss the 2026 World Cup due to this injury.
The Algerian national team will face Argentina, Austria, and Jordan in the group stage of the World Cup.
During his career, Luka Zidane has played for Spanish clubs such as Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, and Eibar.
