Jawad El Yamiq suffers hamstring injury ahead of World Cup

Jawad El Yamiq has suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg, with Real Zaragoza confirming the setback following medical examinations.

The Spanish club announced the injury after the Moroccan defender underwent further tests, though no official recovery timeline has yet been provided.

“El Yamiq has suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg,” Zaragoza said in an official statement.

The injury arrives at a difficult stage of the season for the Segunda División side, who are already dealing with several absences as they approach the decisive final rounds of the campaign.

El Yamiq has been one of Zaragoza’s most experienced defensive figures this season, bringing leadership, physical presence and composure to the back line.

His absence is expected to place additional pressure on the squad as the club continues fighting for important results during the closing weeks of the season.

Zaragoza are scheduled to travel to face UD Las Palmas next Sunday in the penultimate round of the Segunda División campaign, with the fixture carrying major significance for the club’s ambitions.

The defender’s condition will also be followed closely in Morocco ahead of upcoming international commitments involving the Morocco national football team.

El Yamiq has remained a dependable option for the Atlas Lions in recent years, featuring in major tournaments and qualification campaigns thanks to his defensive reliability and experience.

For now, Zaragoza’s medical and technical staff will continue assessing the severity of the injury while hoping the Moroccan international can avoid a lengthy spell on the sidelines during the crucial end of the season.
