# Allan Saint-Maximin at Damac: Latest Injury Update
Allan Saint-Maximin, the French-Moroccan midfielder currently playing for Damac, has been hit with yet another injury setback, further complicating his already challenging season. The latest injury occurred during a training session earlier this week, with reports indicating that Saint-Maximin felt discomfort in his left thigh. Initial scans revealed a minor muscle strain, and he is expected to be sidelined for approximately two weeks.
This is not the first time Saint-Maximin has faced injury issues this season. He initially suffered a minor knock in a match against Al-Shabab in late October, which kept him out of action for a few days. However, he returned to full training and appeared in the next few matches, showcasing his signature creativity and vision on the field. His ability to break defenses with his dribbling skills and set-up goals has made him a key asset for Damac this season.
Despite his injury, Saint-Maximin’s overall form this season has been decent. He has scored four goals and assisted six others in 16 matches, playing a pivotal role in the team’s attack. Damac currently sits in the middle of the table, and Saint-Maximin’s absence could be a significant blow as they aim to improve their standings in the league.
Damac’s management has expressed concern over the recurring nature of Saint-Maximin’s injuries, but they remain optimistic about his recovery. “We’re taking it day by day,” said Damac’s head coach. “Allan is a crucial player for us, and we’re hopeful he’ll make a full recovery soon.”
For now, the focus is on managing without Saint-Maximin and ensuring the team adapts to his absence. The club has called up other players to share the defensive responsibilities, particularly in midfield, to minimize the impact of his injury. Fans are eagerly awaiting updates on his progress, as Saint-Maximin’s return will be a significant boost for the team’s chances in the remainder of the season.
With his career at Damac facing another challenge, Saint-Maximin’s ability to bounce back and regain his full fitness will be crucial. The next few weeks will be critical in determining when he can return to his best form and help Damac fight for a better position in the league table.
