Luca Zidane, the son of Zinedine Zidane, suffered a brain concussion and fractures to his jaw and chin during a second division match against Granada, his club announced. The accident occurred following a violent blow during a jump in the match against Almeria. Following the incident, Zidane will work with the medical staff to decide on the necessary treatment, and a possible surgery could prevent him from participating in the 2026 World Cup, scheduled between June 11 and July 19 in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. His absence would complicate the selection for coach Vladimir Petkovic, who can no longer count on the other two regular goalkeepers, Anthony Mandrea and Melvin Mastil, both of whom are injured. Zidane has 6 caps for the Algerian national team and recently participated in the Africa Cup of Nations.
