The Iraqi national team has been exposed to a real crisis with the announcement of the injury of the team’s most prominent strikers for the upcoming match against Kuwait in the second round of the final qualifiers for the World Cup, scheduled for next Tuesday.
The Iraqi Football Association announced that the Lions of Mesopotamia striker, Ayman Hussein, underwent surgery in Kuwait due to an injury he sustained during the match against Oman in Basra yesterday, Thursday, which led to bleeding in the chest, and he was subsequently transferred to Kuwait.
The new top scorer for the Iraqi national team led his country to victory over Oman by scoring the only goal of the match in the first round of Group Two of the third round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in football.
During the match, Hussein suffered a severe bruise on his ribs, but he continued to play until the 84th minute, when he requested to be substituted due to his inability to continue playing, according to press reports. It is certain that he will be absent for an indefinite period.
