Hamza faces injury race after knee blow

Bangladesh midfielder Hamza Choudhury is facing a race against time after suffering a knee injury that will rule him out for six to eight weeks.

The Leicester City player damaged the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during their recent match against Charlton Athletic, dealing a blow to both club and country.

Medical assessments have confirmed that surgery will not be required, offering a major boost to his recovery timeline.

The focus is now firmly on getting Hamza fit in time for Bangladesh’s international matches scheduled for March.

With rehabilitation already under way, the countdown has begun as Bangladesh hope their midfield enforcer can return in time to make a decisive impact.
