The management of Al-Karma Club officially denied the circulating news in the media and on social media, which spoke about the injury of Iraq national team striker Ayman Hussein and his absence from the pitch for up to six months, confirming that all those reports are untrue and have no basis in reality.

The management stated in an official statement that player Ayman Hussein does not suffer from a serious injury as reported, and that the medical tests he underwent recently showed that he only needs a short rest period ranging from one to two weeks before returning to training and participating in matches normally.

The statement clarified that the medical staff at Al-Karma Club is continuously monitoring the player's condition, and the results have been very reassuring, adding: "What has been circulated about Ayman Hussein's prolonged absence is inaccurate, and the player will return soon to lead the team's and the national team's attack after completing his therapeutic and physical program."

Ayman Hussein's injury occurred during his team's match against Erbil in the fourth round of the Iraqi Stars League, where the coach was forced to substitute him in the 15th minute after he felt sharp muscle pain, which raised concerns among Iraqi fans and followers of local football, especially since the player is considered one of the most prominent strikers in the country.

Ayman Hussein missed the Iraqi national team's matches against Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in the Asian playoff for the 2026 World Cup, a absence that clearly affected the attacking effectiveness of the "Lions of Mesopotamia," as the team missed his efforts and experience inside the penalty area in two decisive matches.
