Richard Ríos injures ankle in Al-Ittihad draw

Richard Ríos injured his left ankle playing for Al-Ittihad against Abha Club in Saudi Arabia.

He left the match in the eighth minute and was later seen walking with crutches.

The Saudi league match ended 1-1 in the teams’ 12th round of the competition.

Ríos, a Colombian midfielder who previously played for Benfica, had started five matches in a row for Al-Ittihad.

The injury puts his Colombia place in doubt for the team’s November friendlies against Chile.

Reports also say he is likely to miss Al-Ittihad’s next matches, but the sources give no recovery timeline.
