Jordanian international star Yazan Al-Naimat confirmed that his return to the national team pitch is approaching, as he has entered the final rehabilitation phase following a nine-month injury lay-off.
Al-Naimat's confirmation aligns with recent statements from Jordan's national team head coach, Badou Zaki. During a press conference held two days ago to announce the national squad, Zaki noted that Al-Naimat is still undergoing medical treatment, expressing optimism that the forward will be fully fit for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Naimat was excluded from the Nashama squad named for the upcoming friendly fixtures against Syria and Venezuela due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear sustained during his participation in the 2025 Arab Cup.
The Shabab Al Ahli Dubai striker reiterated that his return to match action and national team duty is very near.
Al-Naimat made these remarks while attending the Kings League MENA tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, alongside his national team colleague, Al-Sailiya striker Ali Olwan.
The Jordanian duo are participating in the Kings League event as co-chairmen rather than active players, with their roles focused on providing technical and tactical instruction to their respective teams and motivating players throughout the competition.
