‘No Heung-min Son?’ Jordan’s ‘paper tiger’ Al Tamari expected to miss out… Al Naimat ready to go

There is some good news for South Korea, who have suffered a major power leak with the absence of Son Heung-min. Jordan will also be without key striker Moussa Al Tamari.

The South Korean national football team (ranked 23rd by FIFA), led by Hong Myung-bo, will face Jordan (ranked 55th by FIFA) in the third Group B match of the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 (USA, Canada, Mexico) Asian qualifying tournament at the Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan, on Tuesday at 11:00 p.m. The two sides are coming off a 1-1 draw in the first two matches. Both teams sit in first and second place in the group with one win and one draw in the first and second rounds, 카지노사이트 추천 respectively.

Both teams have absentees. First, South Korea will be without captain and key attacker Son Heung-min. The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced on April 4 that “Son Heung-min has been deemed to need rest due to a left thigh injury and has been excluded from the October call-up for player protection. Hong Hyun-seok (Mainz) will be his replacement,” the KFA announced.

Son Heung-min started the first leg of the UEFA Europa League (UEL) first leg against Qarabag in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) League Phase on March 27, but in the 26th minute of the second leg, he grabbed the back of his right thigh and complained of pain. He was eventually subbed off after feeling pain near his hamstring. Son didn’t return until last weekend and is hoping to return after the international break.

Jordan is also not at 100 percent. Al Tahmari, who rang the bell for South Korea at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar, is expected to miss out. According to AliEisaQat, a Middle East soccer news outlet, “Jordanian striker Yazan Al Naimat is ready for the match against South Korea. However, Moussa Al Tahmari will miss the match due to lack of preparation.”

Al Tahmari went down with an ankle injury in September and has missed the last four matches for his club Montpellier. Despite returning from injury ahead of the match against South Korea, Jordan coach Jamal Selami said that Al Tamari is not yet fit to play. As a result, Al Tahmari is highly unlikely to play against South Korea.

Al Naimat, on the other hand, could play. Al Naimat is another striker who has caused South Korea heartache in the past, scoring the opening goal in the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Cup to help Jordan reach the final. South Korea fell to a 0-2 defeat and failed to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years. Al-Naimat suffered a rib injury ahead of the match against South Korea, but is expected to make a quick recovery.

Target No. 1 to watch. Al-Naimat is an in-form striker who has scored four goals in Jordan’s last five A-Match matches. Most notably, he scored a multi-goal performance against Palestine in September, leading his team to a 3-1 victory.
