TEEN Rydalmere sensation Jescar Doueihi has possibly became the first player ruled out for 2012 - thanks to a re-occurring injury of the Achilles tendon.
On the comeback trail from Achilles Tendon tear that prematurely ended his rookie season in 2009, the 18-year-old centre suffered the same injury during a routine running session last week.
Doueihi's troublesome left Achilles tendon came to more grief upon treading on a rough surface while doing pre-season training at the beach.
Doctors declared a recurrence of the injury almost straight away, their diagnosis could possibly be ending Doueihi's upcoming season with the new season still a month away.
It's believed he underwent rehab yesterday.
Doueihi's possibly loss, however, is a distinct set-back for Rydalmere's which they have gained a few player yet to be confirmed by the club for 2012.
After posting 19 goals from 30 RYDALMERE FC appearances, Doueihi suffered the injury during Doueihi's round 6 loss to the Granville on home soil.
Coach Peter Basha did not return calls last night, but club sources said the 152cm powerhouse was making encouraging progress with his recovery.
"It's absolutely devastating for Jescar because he was doing everything right and was on track to take the field again early next season, which was always the target," one insider said.
"He was just doing a pre-season session, turned and trod on some hard surface and that was it."
The recruitment has given Rydalmere FC more depth in the team for 2012, along with the return of all the rumored gains; Justin Doueihi, Barry Gettany, Chris Gettany, Mark Abou-Mherez.
