​The first round of the Jordanian Pro League witnessed the absence of international goalkeepers Abdullah Al-Fakhouri and Yazeed Abu Laila, prompting some fans to question the reason behind their absence.
​In their match against Al-Wehdat, Al-Faisaly fielded goalkeeper Nour Bani Attiah after Abdullah Al-Fakhouri had previously participated in the two Super Cup matches.
​Goalkeeping coach Amer Shafi opted to rotate between international goalkeepers Nour Bani Attiah and Abdullah Al-Fakhouri to enhance their technical and physical readiness, especially as Al-Faisaly approaches numerous encounters while competing on both domestic and Asian fronts.
​Shafi aims to bring both Bani Attiah and Al-Fakhouri to an equal level, ensuring that if one is absent, the other can step in and perform at the same standard.
​Furthermore, Shafi seeks to spark competitiveness between Bani Attiah and Al-Fakhouri, positively reflecting on their technical performance.
​On the other hand, Yazeed Abu Laila was absent from his team Al-Hussein Irbid's match against Al-Jazeera, which the latter won 5-0 in one of the tournament's biggest surprises.
​Abu Laila's absence came after several analysts called for giving him rest to recover physically and mentally, contributing to his return to his usual stellar form.
​Fans had criticized Abu Laila in recent days after showing a noticeable decline in performance; therefore, the goalkeeping coach fielded second-choice goalkeeper Mahmoud Al-Kawamleh in the match against Al-Jazeera.
