Ahli's Fourth Injury Blow Sets Stage for Damac Clash

Injury Update

Al Ahli are dealt another blow as a fourth player heads to the medical ward ahead of the Damac showdown.

They travel to host Damac on Saturday at the Enmaa Stadium in Jeddah in Round 27 of the Saudi Pro League.

Journalist Walid Said, via his X account, said Ali Majrshi, the left back for Ahli, has returned with an injury sustained with the national team.

Medical checks will determine the treatment and rehabilitation plan going forward.

Majrshi is the fourth Ahli player to suffer an injury this period, after teammate Zakaria Housaoui and midfielder Valentin Atanjana, plus Turkish defender Merih Demiral.

Stakes and Standings

Meanwhile, the club's position remains third with 62 points, five behind leaders Nasr and two behind second-placed Al Hilal.

Ahli’s growing injury list adds pressure as they chase a strong finish to the season and try to keep pace in a tight title race.

Punchline 1: If injuries paid rent, Ahli would own the stadium by now.

Punchline 2: The medical ward is starting to feel like the most crowded section in the league table.
