Madrid MRI Delay: Ayman Yahya's Arab Cup Knee Wrench
11 December 2025
In Madrid for a knee check
Ayman Yahya, an Al-Nassr player, is undergoing an MRI at a Madrid medical facility today, with doctors monitoring potential symptoms and the club weighing implications.
Arab Cup implications and next steps
According to the Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadhiah, he left the Saudi squad at the Arab Cup in Qatar after knee trouble, with tests indicating he cannot participate in upcoming matches. The report notes he left the camp after a knee problem worsened, ruling him out for several fixtures.
Initial scans indicate a knee cartilage injury after he came on as a substitute in the Morocco match during the group stage. Fans await a clearer prognosis.
The doctors will decide the required treatment and his expected time away from the pitch, while Al-Nassr awaits a full prognosis. Fans await timetable clarity. So keep your eyes peeled for a quick update.
Saudi Arabia's team was set to face Palestine in the quarterfinals this evening in the Qatar-hosted Arab Cup.
Punchline: If knees could negotiate, this one would demand a better contract before returning to action. Madrid's MRI room might just steal the show from the pitch.
