FC St. Pauli

The 24-year-old Tunisia international sustained a ligament injury in his right ankle after being fouled by an opponent near the touchline just before the end of the game with the score at 3-0 to the visitors.

As a conservative treatment approach over the last two weeks did not yield the hoped-for results, an operation was required. It remains to be seen how long Saad will be sidelined.
