## Abdulrahman Mustafa's Latest Injury Update: Al Duhail's Top Goalkeeper Struggles

Star shot-stopper Abdulrahman Mustafa remains sidelined as **Al Duhail SC grapples with a significant setback**, with their first-choice goalkeeper nursing yet another troublesome injury. The Qatari international suffered the latest blow during national team duty shortly before the domestic league resumed, aggravating an existing knee concern that has now kept him out for nearly three weeks.

Team sources confirm the 29-year-old underwent intensive treatment and rehabilitation over the past days, including daily ice therapy and specialized physio sessions focused on reducing inflammation around the joint. However, training ground sightings reveal he still winsces when planting his right foot under pressure – indicating persistent discomfort upon landing. While club doctors initially hoped he might return last weekend against Al Shamal,Ligue 1 Focus manager Luis Martin opted against rushing him back into action.

This absence forces backup ‘keeper Youssef Hassan into the spotlight against tough opponents like Al Sadd. Though Hassan delivered heroics in their QSL Cup semifinal penalty shootout win without Mustafa earlier this season, consistent Premier League form demands elite level shot-stopping week after week. Assistant coach Marquinhos admitted post-match against Umm Salal: *"We miss Abo’s command from the back... his communication organizes the defence entirely differently."*

With Al Duhail just four points off top spot WCL spots, fans grow anxious watching highlight reels of Mustafa denying sure goals—knowing such reflexes aren't replaceable by tactics alone. Medical updates suggest light jogging restarted Tuesday, but staff caution full training participation could still be two weeks away. Every delayed save practice risks pushing playoff qualification further out of reach for the desert warriors.
