Will Al Ain sign a new defender after Meriha injured the "cruciate ligament"?

Al-Ain team supervisor, Abdullah Ali, said that the initial medical reports that arrived at the club from the Tunisian Football Association confirm that the Tunisian international, Yassin Meriah, was injured in the cruciate ligament, explaining that he had made a phone call yesterday evening to check on the player.

The Tunisian Federation had officially announced in a press statement that the results of the medical examinations that defender Yassin Meriah underwent in the ranks of Al-Ain after his injury in the Egypt match showed his injury at the level of “intersecting ligaments”, and the statement added: “Thank you, Yassin Meriah, we are waiting for you in other successes, We wish Yassin a speedy recovery and a speedy return to the fields.”

Abdullah Ali said to the official website of Al Ain Club, commenting on a question about whether there is an intention to enroll an alternative player in the defense line: We talked before about the club’s position on the winter transfer market, and we stressed that talking about the details is premature. There is a technical report from the coach that will be submitted with all Confirmation of the technical committee for professionalism about the situation after the injury of defender Yassin Meriah, and in light of this, the committee will submit its recommendation to the Board of Directors of Al Ain Football Club Company, and the fans will be informed of all the details in a timely manner.
