Comes off bench against Spain
Amyn (hamstring) played as a substitute during Thursday's friendly draw versus Spain and should be ready to appear at the World Cup.
Analysis: Amyn has bounced back from a muscular injury, giving Iraq a viable option to replace either Ibrahim Bayesh or Marko Hussein Farji on the wings. While Amyn's value may be limited due to his side's difficult group-stage challenges, he may carry significant offensive responsibility. Last season, he notched two goals and one assist over 13 appearances (six starts) for his club AEK Larnaca.
Recovering from injury
Amyn has not played since March due to a hamstring injury as he tries to recover for the World Cup, according to Sam Joseph of The Athletic.
Analysis: Amyn featured in a World Cup qualifier in March but has yet to appear with Larnaca since, as the forward struggles with a hamstring injury. The forward has received nearly no updates since the injury, instead just being sidelined and not playing. This does put some concern around his participation at the World Cup, having recorded two shots and one assist in 17 appearances during the qualifiers.
