KV Kortrijk playmaker Abdelkahar Kadri sustained a serious knee injury during his side’s 3-0 defeat to Dender on Matchday 18 of the Jupiler Pro League.
Kadri, who started the match, suffered the injury in the closing moments of the game after a collision with an opposing player.
The Algerian international fell awkwardly, resulting in what appeared to be a significant knee issue.
The severity of the injury was immediately apparent, with Kadri requiring a stretcher to leave the pitch.
He was quickly transported to hospital for further evaluation, as concern grew over the extent of the damage.
Lengthy Absence Expected
While KV Kortrijk have yet to release an official update on Kadri’s condition, early indications suggest that the midfielder faces a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
The club’s medical team is expected to provide a detailed assessment in the coming days.
Kadri’s absence will come as a significant blow to KV Kortrijk, who are already struggling in the Belgian top flight this season.
His creative influence in the midfield has been a rare positive for the team, and his loss will leave a notable gap as they look to climb the league standings.
A Key Figure for Club and Country
The 23-year-old Algerian has been an integral part of KV Kortrijk’s squad, earning plaudits for his performances since joining the club.
His impressive displays have also seen him become a regular figure for the Algerian national team, where he has continued to develop his reputation as a promising talent.
Kadri’s injury will be closely monitored by both club and country, with hopes that the midfielder can make a full recovery and return to action as soon as possible.
For now, KV Kortrijk’s focus will turn to coping without one of their standout performers, as they await further clarity on the Algerian’s condition.
