The medical team at Al-Zawraa Club revealed that Colombian professional Bryan Riascos has sustained a first-degree tear in the hamstring muscle due to an injury he suffered during the team's training today, in an unexpected blow ahead of the anticipated Asian commitment.

The medical report indicated that the player will be out of action for a period ranging from a week to ten days, which means he will definitely miss the match against UAE's Al Wasl Club in the second leg of the AFC Champions League Round of 16, scheduled to take place next Tuesday in the UAE.

In a move aimed at accelerating his recovery process, Riascos is set to travel with the team delegation to the UAE to undergo advanced medical examinations and an intensive treatment program, with the hope of preparing him as soon as possible to return to the field and support the 'Nawras' in the upcoming stage.

The absence of the Colombian striker is a significant blow for Al-Zawraa, especially after the impressive performances he has shown recently, as he was an influential element in the forward line and contributed crucial goals that gave the team an advantage in important matches, placing the technical staff in a challenge to find a capable replacement for his absence in one of the team's most important matches.
