Our national football team player, Hamad Shamsan, was subjected to the injury that prevented his completion of the Al -Ahmar match against his Japanese counterpart, which he lost with two goals without charge, as part of the third Asian qualifiers qualifying for the 2026 World Cup finals.
The vision was not clear, while Shamsan will play our team’s match against his upcoming Indonesian counterpart, as his absence will have a great impact on the defensive level, especially since the player offers great and important roles in the right -back position.
The Japan match witnessed the involvement of Emmanuel as an alternative to Shamsan, as Emmanuel is not a good option to cover the center, due to his lack of defensive or offensive performance with red during the current qualifiers.
Our national team coach, Dragan, became required to involve Ahmed Boughamar instead of Shamsan in the event that the latter is unable to play the Indonesia match, in addition to the fact that our team’s defense line will witness the absence of Amin Bennadi due to his obtaining a yellow card in this match as well as in a previous match.
It is expected that we will see Sidmidi Baqir at the heart of the defense alongside Walid Al -Haytam, while the vision was not clear about the name that will be present in the right -back center, but Emmanuel is not an appropriate option at all.
The right -back center has witnessed a great improvement and defensive hardness for our team since Shamsan was in this center, although he was a defender, as this positive impact was significantly in the Gulf Cup, in addition to providing strong levels against strong teams such as the Saudi and Japanese team in the current qualifiers.
