Returns from injury
Olwan (undisclosed) played 45 minutes in Sunday's 4-1 defeat against Switzerland, marking his return to competitive action after being sidelined since Feb. 5, with the forward now fit and expected to be a starter for Jordan at the World Cup.
Analysis: Olwan had been absent for around three months with an undisclosed injury, raising serious concerns over his availability for the tournament, but his appearance against Switzerland is a significant relief for Jordan heading into their World Cup debut. The forward is expected to be one of the first names in the starting lineup for coach Jamal Sellami's side, having proven his importance to the national team with a hat trick during the qualification campaign.
Dealing with injury
Olwan has not featured since Feb. 5 due to an undisclosed injury, according to Sam Joseph of The Athletic.
Analysis: Olwan was part of Jordan's qualification for the World Cup, but his option to play seems to be a bit in question, as the forward has not played in around three months due to an undisclosed injury. This is something to watch as the tournament draws closer, as he could potentially miss out on selection due to the injury. This would be considered a rough blow for the team as they lose a useful attacking option, even bagging a hat trick in the qualifiers.
