Jordanian national team player Yazeen Al-Naimat announced today that the surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament, performed at Spitar Hospital in the Qatari capital Doha, was successful. Al-Naimat wrote in a story posted on his official Instagram account: "Praise be to God, the operation was successful.. I ask for your prayers." The Jordan Football Association had previously announced that striker Yazeen Al-Naimat had torn his anterior cruciate ligament during the match against Iraq in the quarter-finals of the Arab Cup, one of the worst injuries football players can suffer. It is worth noting that Yazeen Al-Naimat is one of the most important players for the "Al-Nshama" national team (the nickname for the Jordanian national team). His injury deprived fans of his artistry and broke the hearts of Jordanians, while coach Salami was moved to tears live on air, affected by the player's injury. The injury now requires a treatment period of 6 to 9 months, which means it is unlikely that he will be able to join the Jordanian national team for its historic participation in the 2026 World Cup finals, an achievement in which Yazeen Al-Naimat played a significant and direct role.
