Amman, June 11 (Petra) -- Phone calls made by HRH Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II to check on health of injured Jordan national football team players have helped raise their morale and strengthen their confidence in overcoming injuries and returning to action in the coming period.

During the past period, Crown Prince contacted a number of national team players sidelined by injuries that prevented their participation to represent Al Nashama, checking on their health and reiterating his support throughout their treatment and rehabilitation stages.

National team player Ibrahim Sabra said the Crown Prince’s call had a significant impact in easing his injury challenges, noting His Royal Highness’s words provided strong motivation to continue his rehabilitation program and work to return to the pitch in the best possible condition.

Sabra said the Crown Prince’s attention and follow-up of injured players reflect genuine care and support during difficult circumstances, adding that such encouragement gives players a major morale boost and strengthens their determination to overcome setbacks and rejoin the national team as soon as possible.

He added that the "gesture was not surprising and remains a source of pride" for all national team players, who consistently feel the Crown Prince’s close support and interest in their sporting careers.

For his part, national team player Issam Al Samiri said the Crown Prince’s communication with him after his injury helped ease the disappointment of his absence from the squad, particularly during a historic period after Jordan’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Al Samiri said the conversation carried strong messages of support and encouragement, boosting his morale and reinforcing his confidence in returning stronger after completing treatment. He added that the Crown Prince’s attention to players’ circumstances leaves a lasting positive impact.

He noted players deeply appreciate this humanitarian gesture, which reflects the Crown Prince’s close connection with them and his continued concern for their well-being, adding that such support provides extra motivation to work harder and represent Jordan in the best possible way.

National team players said the Crown Prince’s continued support and follow-up serve as a major source of encouragement during injury periods and strengthen their determination to return to represent Al Nashama and contribute to the team’s ongoing achievements.
