International footballer 'rushed to hospital and is in intensive care'

An international footballer has been rushed to hospital and is in intensive care after falling from a second-floor balcony.

The player was left with multiple fractures following the incident.

The incident reportedly occurred between 9 am and 10 am on Thursday. 

Street and home camera footage is now being assessed. 

The individual featured for his nation at the 2018 World Cup. 

According to Dubaieye1038, Fahad Al-Muwallad was left injured after the incident at his home in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Al-Muwallad, 30, plays for Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab. He has been capped by Saudi Arabia on 78 occasions.

Al-Muwallad was alone at the time of the incident, with some of his friends having reportedly left three hours beforehand.

He started his career at Al-Ittihad and had a loan spell at Levante before joining Al-Shabab in 2022.

He was removed from Saudi Arabia's 2022 World Cup squad as a precautionary measure regarding a doping case.

Al-Muwallad was banned from all football activities for 18 months from March that year but his sentence was later reduced.

Saudi Arabia removed him from the squad following an appeal from the World Agency to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The winger has since returned to international football.
