A New Harsh Blow to the Jordanian National Team
The Jordan national team received a significant blow ahead of their historic first participation in the 2026 World Cup finals, following confirmation that player Issam Al-Sumeiri will be absent due to injury.
The Jordan Football Association announced today, Friday, that Al-Sumairi suffered a rupture in the Achilles tendon of his left foot during his individual training with the national team, following the necessary medical examinations.
The federation clarified, through its official account on the "X" platform, that the player will require a long period of treatment and rehabilitation, which means he will miss the World Cup scheduled to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
The absence of Al-Samiri is considered a significant loss for "Al-Nashama" before the start of the World Cup, as the Jordanian national team seeks to deliver a remarkable performance in its first-ever appearance in the history of the global tournament, especially after the confirmed absence of Yazan Al-Naimat.
