Cleared by medical staff
Jasim (neck) has received the green light from the medical staff and is ready to participate against France, according to Iraqi Sport 1.
Analysis: Jasim had been working through the neck injury he suffered against Norway, with the latest update putting him in contention to feature against France on June 22. His exact role, whether as a starter or impact substitute, remains to be determined by coach Graham Arnold's staff as Iraq prepare for one of the most significant fixtures in the nation's football history.
Subs off injured against Norway
Jasim suffered an apparent neck injury that led to his substitution during the second half of Tuesday's 4-1 loss to Norway.
Analysis: Jasim had a quiet outing on the left wing before being unable to continue. His presence in the next group-stage matchup versus France is now in doubt, which means Ahmed Qasem could be given an opportunity to start in his place. In that case, Jasim may be ruled out of one or multiple games depending on the severity of the problem.
