Al Ahli have released a statement confirming that Alex Telles is suffering from a serious injury.

The Brazilian defender sustained the injury during training and will be out for several weeks, according to the club. The club has not provided any further details about the nature of his injury or when he will return to action.

Telles joined Al Ahli in January this year on a four-year deal from Manchester United. He made an immediate impact at the club, playing in all but one of their matches in the first half of the season before sustaining the injury.

The club's medical team has been working hard to get him back on track as soon as possible, but it appears that they may face some delays due to the severity of the injury.

This is a major blow for Al Ahli, who were already struggling without their usual defensive stability following the departure of Ayoub El Kaabi to Chelsea.

Despite this setback, Al Ahli remain focused on winning the league title and securing a place in the Champions League next season. They will hope that Telles' recovery is swift and that he can make a full recovery in time for the second half of the season.

In the meantime, Al Ahli will look to strengthen their defence by bringing in reinforcements, with a number of clubs reportedly interested in signing the Brazilian defender.
