Remains doubtful for France clash
Jasim (neck) remains a doubt for Iraq's World Cup fixture against France on June 22 since the midfielder was still absent from team training as he continues working toward fitness following the injury suffered against Norway, according to Zaidan Al-Rubaie of Al Khaleej.
Analysis: Jasim is carefully managed by the medical and technical staff to prepare him for the France match, but all signs point toward him not being available to start, with a potential role off the bench in the second half or closing minutes depending on how the game unfolds. His status will continue to be assessed over the coming days as Iraq's coaching staff weigh their options heading into one of the most significant fixtures in the nation's football history.
Subs off injured against Norway
Jasim suffered an apparent neck injury that led to his substitution during the second half of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Norway.
Analysis: Jasim had a quiet outing on the left wing before being unable to continue. His presence in the next group-stage matchup versus France is now in doubt, which means Ahmed Qasem could be given an opportunity to start in his place. In that case, Jasim may be ruled out of one or multiple games depending on the severity of the problem.
