Mohamed Elneny’s sudden injury stuns Al Jazira fans

Mohamed Elneny’s promising season with Al Jazira took an unexpected turn on Wednesday night when he left the pitch injured just minutes into the clash with Al Wahda at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium.

The Egyptian midfielder, who has been a vital figure for the Emirati side this campaign, collapsed in the 10th minute without any contact from an opponent, leaving supporters in shock.

Coach Marino Pusic quickly turned to Khalifa Al Hammadi, making the substitution by the 12th minute. The incident cast a shadow over what was meant to be a high-stakes fifth-round fixture of the ADNOC Professional League.

The club confirmed that medical tests will be carried out immediately after the match to determine the seriousness of the injury and how long Elneny may be sidelined. For Al Jazira, the news is worrying, as Elneny has been central to their ambition of climbing back to the league podium.

His steady displays since joining have earned him praise from teammates and fans alike, making this setback a moment of concern for the entire Al Jazira family.
