Paul Mulders, the attacking midfielder of the Philippine Azkals, might not be able to play in the team's match against Kuwait for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Preliminary Competition in Asia.
The Fil-Dutch footballer suffered an open wound during their game in Sri Lanka. It worsened on Tuesday as bacteria got into the wound and spread out, to the point that he already had fever and his knee was so swollen it was already as big as his thigh. He was admitted to the emergency room last Saturday to undergo a procedure that would remove the infection.
With the infection gone, Paul is already okay but he's still recuperating and taking antibiotics. If he does not heal in time, he might miss their away match against Kuwait which will happen on Saturday, July 23. He already missed his club's (ADO Den Haag) away match against FK Tauras-Lithuania in the UEFA Europa League due to the injury.
Paul says he's in touch with Azkals coach Michael Weiss and manager Dan Palami and promises to play if he gets well enough.
He was touched when some of his Azkals teammates emailed him to let him know that they need him to win in their next big game.
If he couldn't play, that would mean three less players from the team since Aly Borromeo and Stephan Schrock both got a yellow card in their home game against Sri Lanka last July 3, 2011.
