Al-Hamadi Out of Iraq Squad - Ipswich Town News
Town striker Ali Al-Hamadi has pulled out of Iraq’s October internationals due to injury.
According to Iraqi reports, the 22-year-old has been forced to withdraw from the World Cup qualifiers against Palestine and South Korea during th international break due to an unspecified knock.
Al-Hamadi seems likely to have been one of the players manager Kieran McKenna said had injury issues at yesterday’s press conference.
The former AFC Wimbledon man is unlikely to have been involved with the Blues at West Ham on Saturday in any case having been left out of the matchday squad since George Hirst’s return to fitness.
Al-Hamadi has previously won 14 full caps, scoring three international goals.
