Est. Return 11/9/2025
Nearing return
Riad (knee) is nearing a return to training, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "And we have Chadi Riad, who will come back in the next two weeks and start training with us"
ANALYSIS
Riad is nearing a return to training, the last major step in his recovery from an ACL injury. The defender may not be ready for match action straight away, with the potential for games with the youth team after joining team training. Riad would be another central defense option, though he might have to earn significant minutes again after so long on the sideline.

Needs another week or two
Riad (knee) is still a week or two away from a return, according to manager Olivier Galsner. "No, unfortunately. We expected him now, but it takes maybe one, two more weeks. We said it's such a long period, and we don't take any kind of risks because the worst thing that can happen is he starts training, and maybe then he has to go out of the training again. He's doing his rehab. He's on the pitch already. He's doing a lot of work. But of course, especially the next two weeks, honestly, we don't really train. I think after this period, he will be with us."

Ruptures ACL
Riad (knee) is done for the season with a ruptured ACL, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "After further assessments, Cheick needs surgery on his knee, and Chadi has ruptured his ACL [Anterior Cruciate Ligament], so we have lost both for the rest of the season - and I think Chadi even longer, whereas we hope Cheicky will return for pre-season next season - so it's two long-term injuries."
