Ali Majrashi’s Al-Ahli Jeddah Return: Dream or Nightmare Await?

Ali Majrashi suffered a thigh muscle tear while on international duty for Saudi Arabia. He entered late as a substitute in the match against Serbia in Belgrade. The game at the TSC Arena finished in a 2-1 defeat for Saudi Arabia.

Injury diagnosis

The Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadiah reported recent medical tests. Those tests confirmed a tear to Majrashi’s thigh muscle. Club staff expect him to miss between two and three weeks.

Recovery timeline and targets

Al-Ahli’s medical team are accelerating his rehabilitation program. They aim for a comeback after the club faces Al-Duhail on 13 April. That fixture is the AFC Champions League round of 16 match.

Other reports suggested a minimum three-week absence. If the longer estimate proves true, he could miss the Champions League final on 25 April. Qualification would be required for that scenario.

Squad adjustments

German manager Matthias Jaissle turned to Mohammed Abdulrahman for cover. Abdulrahman started at right-back against Damac. That match took place at Al-Inmaa Stadium in round 27 of the Roshen League.

Season contributions

Majrashi has been a regular for Al-Ahli Jeddah this season. He played 35 matches across all competitions. He recorded one goal and provided five assists.
