Ali Alwan reportedly suffers ankle sprain ahead of Jordan's World Cup qualifier against Kuwait

Ali Alwan, a key player for the Jordan national football team, reportedly suffered an ankle sprain just days before the team's crucial World Cup qualifier against Kuwait.

A source confirmed the injury to Roya, although it remains unclear whether Alwan will be sidelined for the upcoming match.

The Jordanian squad already arrived in Kuwait, preparing for the sixth-round clash on Tuesday, as part of the ongoing World Cup qualifying campaign. The team is aiming to secure a vital win to maintain its position in the standings.

In the most recent round of Group B, South Korea strengthened its lead with a 3-1 victory over Kuwait, extending its points tally to 13. Meanwhile, Oman capitalized on a narrow 1-0 win against Palestine, bringing its total to 6 points.

The results have placed Oman in close contention with Jordan and Iraq, both of whom are tied for second and third place with 8 points, following their draw in Basra.
