Leicester City captain Hamza Choudhury was seen leaving the pitch on crutches after Saturday’s English Championship match against Charlton Athletic, raising concern among fans.

Bangladesh’s next Asian Cup qualifier is against Singapore on March 31, with a friendly match against Vietnam scheduled before that. Naturally, news of Hamza’s injury caused anxiety ahead of these crucial fixtures.

Initial reports suggested he might require surgery due to a medial collateral ligament injury in his right knee, which could have sidelined him for a long period. Leicester’s coach also expressed concern after the match, noting that Hamza was wearing a knee brace and did not appear close to recovery.

However, there is good news. T Sports has confirmed that surgery will not be necessary, and scans revealed no major damage or fracture. Doctors have advised Hamza to undergo six to eight weeks of rehabilitation.

Hamza is expected to return to action after completing rehab without surgery. He will miss Leicester’s next Championship match against Birmingham on February 9, but the recovery timeline leaves sufficient time for him to be available for the national team.
