Overview
- Ahmed landed awkwardly in a pre-season match at Carrow Road against Osasuna and required medical staff to help him off the field.
- Norwich have officially confirmed he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will undergo surgery this month.
- The club says the injury is likely to keep the 25-year-old winger out for the majority or entirety of the 2026–27 season because ACL repair needs surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation process.
- Team-mate Mo Toure has been approved to switch to Ahmed’s squad number for 2026–27 and publicly described the move as a show of support.
- Ahmed joined from Vancouver Whitecaps in January and scored four goals last season, a loss that complicates head coach Philippe Clement’s pre-season planning and squad selection.
