JAKARTA - Saudi Arabia's left-back Yasser Al Shahrani is reportedly in better condition after suffering a severe collision with his own teammate, Mohammed Al Owais. As is known, Al Owais' knee hit Al Shahrani's jaw, causing the player to be carried off the pitch.
Al Shahrani's latest condition is known through the latest upload by the Saudi national team on social media, Wednesday, November 23. In the short video uploaded, Yasser appears to be still lying in the hospital wearing a head covering.
However, he was able to communicate and say he was fine.
"Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh. I want to make sure to all of you that I am fine," said Yasser Al-Shahrani, in the video.
"Thank you all and congratulations on the victory we won. Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullah Wabarakatuh," he continued.

Al Shahrani KO's moment on the pitch occurred in extra time when Saudi Arabia faced Argentina in its inaugural match.
After going through X-ray examination, it was found that the violent impact caused Al Shahrani to suffer a broken jaw and other injuries to the facial bone. The defender is also required to undergo surgery as soon as possible due to internal bleeding.
Quoted from the Daily Telegraph, the situation is worrying about Yasser reaching the ears of the Saudi Arabian prince, Mohammed Bin Salman (MbS). He immediately ordered the kingdom to send a private jet to Qatar to evacuate the defender to receive the best treatment at a German hospital.
