The verdict is particularly difficult for Chadi Riad. He was carried off on a stretcher during the opening day of the Premier League against Everton, and the Moroccan international defender is suffering from a new anterior cruciate ligament tear, which is expected to keep him out for most of the season.
The Crystal Palace defender was injured in the second half while attempting to make a defensive intervention. Immediately affected in the knee, the Moroccan had to leave his teammates on a stretcher, raising fears of another serious injury just months after his return to competition.
Examinations conducted since have unfortunately confirmed these concerns. Chadi Riad has once again suffered a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, according to information revealed this Friday in England. This injury is expected to lead to a very long period of unavailability and jeopardize a significant part of his 2026-2027 season.
The blow is particularly cruel for the 23-year-old player. Riad had already experienced a long period of hardship following a previous serious knee injury and had just begun to regain his rhythm and a place in the Crystal Palace team.
This new injury forces the Moroccan defender to embark on a long process of treatment and rehabilitation, just as he seemed to have finally left his physical problems behind.
