The 2021 AFCON winner will face Sudan and Togo, as part of the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Suffering from an adductor injury, the last line of defense for the Lions had to leave the match early, which saw his club Ahly held to a 2-2 draw by Al-Khaleej FC.

According to the Saudi press, Jeddah's flagship club will take risks with the former Chelsea player by fielding him on Tuesday, March 11, during the match against Al-Rayyan Sports Club, as part of the second leg of the Elite Asian Champions League Round of 16.

This initiative could have detrimental effects on the player's health, just days before the national team's next two fixtures.
