Al Ittihad, the Saudi Arabian club where Steven Bergwijn is currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, has released a statement regarding the Dutch winger's latest injury update.

Bergwijn sustained an ankle injury in the first half of the club's match against Al-Nassr on Sunday and was forced to leave the pitch with some discomfort. The 25-year-old has been undergoing treatment since then and it is unclear when he will be able to return to action.

The news comes as a blow to both Bergwijn and Al Ittihad, who have been hoping to secure his services until the end of the season. The club had already signed him on loan earlier this year and hoped that he could make a significant impact during his time at the club.

However, with Bergwijn out for an extended period, Al Ittihad may need to look elsewhere for cover in attack. The club's manager, Paulo Sousa, has hinted that they may consider signing another forward to strengthen their attacking options.

In the meantime, Bergwijn will be hoping to recover quickly and get back onto the pitch as soon as possible. He has been a key player for Tottenham in recent years and will be keen to continue his impressive form while on loan at Al Ittihad.
