Senegal international Khadim Ndiaye who played in Zimbabwe recently when his club eliminated FC Platinum out of the African Champions League, suffered a double leg break at Wydad Casablanca on Saturday.

And Tessema had to be comforted as the 34-year-old keeper received treatment on the pitch.

Ndiaye had collided with team-mate Boubacar Samassekou which saw him stretchered off the field and undergo surgery.

A statement from the club read: “The results are reassuring and he will remain at the Cheick Zaidi University hospital where he will continue his recovery.”

Horoya didn’t comment on how long Ndiaye is expected to be out for.
