Qatari club Al-Shamal confirmed on Saturday that Moroccan midfielder Mohamed Rabie Hrimat had suffered a torn cruciate ligament.
The injury came during Al-Shamal's second-round league clash with Al-Gharafa, a game they won 3-1.
Medical examinations confirmed the torn cruciate ligament, the club announced on their official website.
Al-Shamal added: "The Moroccan player will undergo surgery, after which the date of his return to the pitch will be determined."
Hrimat, 32, joined Al-Shamal this summer from Al-Jaish (Royal Army), signing a deal that runs until the summer of 2028.
The move followed a standout campaign with Morocco at the 2025 Arab Cup, which the national team won on home soil in Qatar.
