Pakistan Winger Ahmad Faraz Gulzari Injured Ahead of Asia Cup Qualifier

Pakistan national football team winger Ahmad Faraz Gulzari has suffered an ACL injury during a training session, dealing a blow to the team ahead of the AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers. Gulzari, who also plays for Melbourne Victory U21, is expected to miss Pakistan’s upcoming March fixture against the Myanmar national football team.

The injury comes at a critical time as Pakistan prepares for the qualifier, with Gulzari being a key attacking option for the squad. Team officials have confirmed that he will undergo medical evaluation and rehabilitation, but he is unlikely to recover in time for the crucial match.

Fans and analysts have expressed concern over Pakistan’s squad depth in the winger position, highlighting the challenge of replacing a player with Gulzari’s pace and experience. The coaching staff is reportedly assessing alternative options to maintain attacking strength in his absence.

This setback adds to Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to improve performance on the international football stage, with the AFC qualifiers serving as a major opportunity for the team to secure a place in Asia’s premier competition
