KUALA LUMPUR:
Selangor’s sensational winger Faisal Halim suffered a nasal bone fracture during the team’s final Super League match against PDRM at the Petaling Jaya stadium last night.

Selangor FC said in a statement a specialist doctor had confirmed that Faisal would undergo conservative treatment and receive a thorough examination soon.

“Nevertheless, there is no risk preventing him from continuing to play,” the club said in the statement.

The injury occurred in the 55th minute of last night’s match when Faisal collided with PDRM captain Faith Friday Obilor, whose elbow appeared to have struck Faisal’s nose.

Despite the incident, the Red Giants closed their season in style with a 2-0 win, courtesy of second-half goals by Alvin Fortes in the 49th minute and Yohandry Orozco during injury time (90+2).

The result saw Katsuhito Kinoshi’s squad maintain second place in the league standings with 52 points, while the Cops finished ninth with 27 points.
