DOHA: El Jaish forward Magid Mohammed is set undergo a surgery to repair damaged ligaments, a club official said on Tuesday.
Mohammed suffered a bad injury during a ninth-round Qatar Stars League
(QSL) clash. It was announced then that the Qatar national team strike will be out for the entire season.
The 31-year-old will undergo surgery at Qatar's Aspetar, the sports medicine hospital.
The forthcoming surgery will be the first step for Mohammed who faces a long lay-off.
Club officials have said the striker won't be able to get on the pitch for at least six months following the surgery.
Yusuf Muftah, Seydou Keita, Abdulrahman Abkar, Dame Traore, Abdul Qadir Ilyas, Khalid Abdul Rauf and Mohammed are some of the key El Jaish names on the injured list.
El Jaish are in 3rd spot in the QSL points race.
