However, Ali had to leave the field after just 48 minutes. According to the Greek website Gazzetta.gr, the Swede was forced off with shoulder problems.
The injury details are also mentioned by Greek media outlets Metrosport and SDNA, which report that Ali has dislocated his shoulder. The media outlets say that Paok is opposed to the Swede joining the national team.
Shoulder problems are not new to Ali. After his move to Paok, he missed five games with a similar injury before returning to action at the end of August.
Mattias Svanberg and Gustaf Nilsson have already withdrawn from the squad.
