• Star player Ali Alwan sidelined for up to three months

Qatari club Al-Sailiya announced that star player Ali Alwan will be out of action for up to three months following a confirmed ankle ligament tear.

Alwan is set to undergo urgent surgery in the coming days, followed by an intensive medical and physical rehabilitation program to ensure a full-strength return to the field.

The injury comes at a critical point in the football season, dealing a significant blow to both the national team and Al-Sailiya’s attacking lineup, given the player’s key role in major matches.

Recovery is expected to last until nearly the end of the season, with a specialized team overseeing every stage of treatment to prevent complications that could impact his professional career.

Fans have expressed strong support and wished him a speedy recovery, while the coaching staff has begun exploring attacking alternatives to cover his absence.

The next three months will be a true test for Alwan to demonstrate his ability to return in top form, especially as he remains a cornerstone in upcoming continental and international competitions.
