The Jordan national football team will face Colombia on Monday, as part of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup. The team has suffered a new blow ahead of the tournament, with the absence of striker Ibrahim Sabra due to a serious injury sustained during recent training sessions. The Jordanian Football Association announced that medical tests revealed a tear in Sabra's left ankle ligaments, which will require him to undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program, ruling him out of the upcoming tournament. Sabra's absence adds to the list of significant injuries that have affected the Jordanian team, including the losses of Yazan Al-Naimat and Adham Al-Quraishi due to cruciate ligament injuries, as well as right-back Essam Al-Samiri, who suffered a tendon cut. Despite these challenges, the Jordan national football team continues to prepare for their first-ever World Cup appearance, with high hopes of making a respectable showing in the tournament. The team will begin their campaign in Group 10 with tough matches against Austria and Algeria in San Francisco, before concluding the group stage with a difficult match against reigning champions Argentina in Dallas.
