Hull City player's entourage angry over suggestions of long term injury

Belloumi's camp denies serious injury after missing Arsenal match; Algeria medical staff cleared him following tests.

Mohamed Belloumi missed Hull City's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal last week due to an injury, prompting media speculation about a serious setback. The Algeria international travelled to the national team camp despite the injury, where Algeria's medical staff conducted further tests and examinations before releasing him from the international break.

Following his release, reports suggested Belloumi had suffered a serious injury. His entourage has now pushed back against these claims, with a source close to the player dismissing the speculation. 'Any player is susceptible to injuries; I don't understand why there's always so much noise surrounding him lately,' the source said, adding that missing one match is normal and happens to all players.

The 24-year-old has scored three goals and contributed two assists in nine Premier League matches this season.
