Former Somali National football squad member Mohamed Jibriil popularly known as Jurru is showing good symptoms of recovery after he was admitted to a hospital in the capital Mogadishu due to neurological disorders several days ago.

The former footballer who is now in his 80s was hospitalized on Tuesday 25^th of March because of neurological problems that left his left hand and leg paralysed, but after medication the old player showed signs of good recovery and was now able to walk.

"Mohamed Jibril is currently an outpatient and we are very hopeful that he will gain full recovery soon” Dr, Abdirahman Said Aden told Somali Football Federation Senior vice president Ali Abdi Mohamed who is in charge of the SFF for keeping up with the situation of the ailing former Ocean stars member.

Dr. Aden said that the nerve cells and muscles of the left part of Jiriil’s body were showing symptoms of deep degeneration when he was admitted to the hospital, but his situation was becoming better and better day by day until he finally started walking.

The SFF senior vice president Mr. Ali Abdi Mohamed thanked Dr. Aden, his nurses and all hospital staff members for the high profile medical care they extended to the former National team member since he was admitted to the hospital several days ago.

"I know you have made everything possible to prevent the old player from becoming disabled—I see he has a little bit recovered from the impairment as he started walking and as well as using his hands to eat or drink without help” The senior vice president told doctors during his visit to the ailing former Ocean stars member on Saturday.

The ailing Mohamed Jibriil Jurru was one of Somalia’s most renowned national football squad members from 1964 until he retired in 1972.
