Mido: Savic saved Al-Dosari from death

Former Tottenham star Ahmed Hossam Mido confirmed that Al Hilal star Sergei Savic saved his teammate from swallowing his tongue in the Al-Raed match yesterday, Saturday.

Al-Dosari suffered a severe head injury after colliding with Al-Raed player.

Mido said on the “Dorina Ghare” program: “We wish safety for Al-Dosari. He is one of the most important players in Asia, not the Saudi national team.” Only, given the seriousness of injuries of this type in terms of internal bleeding, it is important for the medical team of Al Hilal and the Saudi national team to reassure that there is no internal bleeding.”

He added: “What happened is that Al-Dossari did not see Al-Raed’s player, and the collision came as a surprise to him. The brain was not prepared for this blow, and this is the most dangerous thing in this type of injury.”

He continued: "Savic's experience was decisive in this shot. He ran towards Al-Dosari, and the first thing he did was move him to sleep on his side."

He continued: "All players must know this information. When a player suffers a head collision, as happened to Al-Dosari, it is necessary for him to sleep on his side, not on his back."

Mido warned: "If the player sleeps on his back, he may swallow his tongue."
