Club Africain’s Abdelmoumene Djabou Ruled Out for Season with Knee Injury
Club Africain have been dealt a major setback as star winger Abdelmoumene Djabou has been ruled out for the rest of the season following a serious knee injury sustained in training.
The Algerian international, a key figure for the Tunisian side, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, along with meniscus damage. The diagnosis was confirmed after an MRI scan conducted earlier this week. The club made the announcement on their official website, stating that Djabou will undergo surgery, with the date yet to be confirmed.
“The season is officially over for Djabou,” the statement read. “In-depth examinations revealed a ruptured ACL and meniscus damage in his left knee. He will undergo surgical intervention in the coming days.”
The injury means Djabou will miss this afternoon’s league fixture against JS Kairouan and all remaining matches this season, a significant blow to Club Africain’s campaign as they push for a strong finish in the Tunisian Ligue 1.
Djabou has been one of the standout performers for the club this season, making 18 league appearances and scoring eight goals. His creativity, pace, and ability to unlock defences have been vital to the team’s attacking threat.
The 28-year-old’s absence will not only affect Club Africain but could also have implications for the Algerian national team, with key international fixtures on the horizon. His recovery and rehabilitation are expected to span several months, potentially sidelining him well into the next season.
As Club Africain prepare to move forward without one of their top talents, attention now turns to how they will fill the void left by Djabou’s injury—both on the pitch and in their broader ambitions for the remainder of the season.
