According to an authorized source, Captain Gaya Merbah will soon fly to Doha, more precisely to Aspetar, where he will continue his rehabilitation. The leaders did what was necessary to ensure that he was taken care of upon his arrival.
He’s just waiting to sort out a little problem before going there. Successfully operated on at Nedir Mohamed hospital in mid-September, the same day he suffered a serious injury, Tadmait’s child was forced to rest for a few days before starting his rehabilitation in Algiers. And to allow him to return to the field as soon as possible, the leaders have decided to send him to Aspetar where he will have all the means of recovery at his disposal. His case (double fracture to the tibia) had created great panic at the JSK to the point where some had hastened to announce the imminence of the signing of the former Greens goalkeeper Raïs-Ouahab Mbolhi, under the pretext that Merbah was not will not be able to return to the pitch before next season. But the latter was quick to be reassured by his treating doctor who assured him that he would be able to return to competition in four to five months. This is the reason why the leaders and coach Benchikha judged that they do not need to recruit a goalkeeper in this first leg. Mbolhi has remained inactive since his departure from CRB and the technical staff does not see the point in recruiting him when it will take him a long time to find his optimal form. He preferred to bet on Hadid and Benrabah than to enlist a goalkeeper at the end of his career.
Six to eight weeks of rehabilitation
Even if the duration of Merbah’s stay in Aspetar has not yet been revealed by management, our source told us that the Canaries captain’s rehabilitation in Doha will be six to eight weeks. He will have everything at his disposal in Aspetar and if all goes well, he will be able to return to competition next February at the latest. He will be well taken care of there and it seems he is already itching to get to Aspetar. The leaders have bet a lot on him and they hope to get him back as soon as possible. If they had given in to pressure, they would have already hired a goalkeeper. But they do not want to abandon Merbah in these difficult times, especially since he did not hesitate to say yes to them last July despite all the offers he had received. There were clubs like the MCA which had made him offers superior to that of the JSK, but he had made the choice from the heart. He declared when signing his contract that the dream he had since he was a child was to wear the jersey of this prestigious club. The leaders have not forgotten this and their wish now is that it is operational at the start of the return phase, because even if Hadid, who started in the last three matches, has not conceded any goals, they know that their team needs an experienced goalkeeper to play for the title in the second leg. It must be said that Merbah’s presence in the group is very useful since despite his injury, he regularly goes to the stadium to motivate and support his teammates.
