Al Shabab sanction Morocco forward Abderrazak Hamdallah for indiscipline

Saudi Pro League outfit, Al Shabab has sanctioned Morocco international Abderrazak Hamdallah for indiscipline, with the forward at risk of not featuring in the remaining games of the current campaign.

Per reports, tensions erupted after the club’s match against Al Taawoun FC, where Hamdallah was involved in a heated exchange with teammate Yannick Carrasco. While the disagreement was later resolved internally, the incident is said to have left a negative impression on the club’s hierarchy.

Al Shabab are understood to have taken a firm stance on the matter, viewing the behaviour as unacceptable within the squad environment. As a result, Hamdallah has been excluded from team activities for a period of seven days as part of an internal disciplinary sanction.

However, the consequences may go beyond a short-term suspension. Some reports suggest the Moroccan striker could miss the remainder of the campaign entirely, depending on how the situation develops within the club.

The timing of the decision is particularly significant. It comes just days before one of the biggest fixtures of the season—the Riyadh derby against Al Nassr FC in the Saudi Pro League. Hamdallah’s potential absence would be a major blow, removing a proven goalscorer at a crucial stage of the campaign.

Known for his prolific finishing and decisive presence in the final third, Hamdallah has long been one of the league’s standout forwards. However, this latest development places his immediate future at Al Shabab under serious uncertainty.

While the situation between the players has reportedly cooled, the club’s decision signals a strong emphasis on discipline and unity within the squad. Whether Hamdallah returns before the end of the season—or whether this marks an early conclusion to his campaign—now depends on internal resolution in the coming days.

For now, one of the league’s most experienced strikers finds himself sidelined at the worst possible moment, with questions hanging over both his short-term role and his longer-term future at the club.
