DR ‹ › Moroccan international Zakaria Aboukhlal, who plays for Torino, has undergone knee surgery after struggling with a persistent injury for several weeks, ruling him out for an unspecified period. Aboukhlal has been sidelined since February 15, following his participation in a match against Bologna, due to ongoing knee pain. After initial attempts to manage the injury without surgery, Torino's medical staff opted for an arthroscopic procedure on his right knee, which was carried out in Amsterdam. The player has since begun his rehabilitation. The operation comes amid a challenging season for Aboukhlal since his move to Torino from Toulouse, marked by a series of injuries, including muscle issues, thigh pain, and a knee contusion. Aboukhlal has made 18 appearances in all competitions for Torino, including 15 in the league, without scoring or registering an assist. This contrasts with his final season at Toulouse, where he recorded 7 goals and 4 assists.
