Saudi Arabia international Fahad Al-Muwallad is in intensive care following a fall from the balcony of his apartment in Dubai.
The incident occurred on Thursday at the 30-year-old’s residence, which is reportedly owned by the footballer.
Al-Muwallad’s club, Al-Shabab, confirmed that the player fell from the balcony of his second-floor home. “Investigations are ongoing, and the competent authorities will be informed of the results of these investigations once they are completed,” said a statement from local police.
The 78-cap Saudi national team player has been a prominent figure in football. After beginning his career with Al-Ittihad, Al-Muwallad transferred to Al-Shabab in 2022, where he currently plays alongside notable teammates such as former Wolves forward Daniel Podence and Belgium’s Yannick Carrasco.
In addition to his club career, Al-Muwallad had a brief stint with Levante on loan in 2018, making two appearances for the Spanish side. He also represented Saudi Arabia in two World Cup matches during the same year.
