Al-Ahly Club’s suffering increased after Imam Ashour, the team’s player, was injured in our national team’s friendly yesterday, Friday, against New Zealand at Misr Stadium in the Administrative Capital, where “Al-Ahly Hospital” received a new visitor at a critical time as the team prepares for the match against Simba, Tanzania, on March 29 and April 5 in CAF Champions League quarter-finals.
Imam Ashour was injured in the shoulder during the first half of the friendly match between Egypt and New Zealand. He left crying as a result and was unable to complete the match, which our team won with a clean goal.
The initial x-rays that the player underwent showed that he had a dislocation between the clavicle joint and the shoulder blade. The player is completing the x-rays today in order to announce the final status of the injury. The player needs from two and a half months to three and a half months to recover from the injury.
Al-Ahly Hospital currently contains influential injuries, and the worst thing is that they are “long” and require time to recover. The team misses the efforts of Mohamed El-Shenawy due to his shoulder injury during the recent African Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
El-Shenawy had shoulder surgery in Germany on January 26, and he still needs a period of no less than a month and a half to return to the field.
Al-Ahly Hospital includes another long-term injury, namely Malian Aliou Dieng, who underwent surgery to remove part of the knee cartilage, under the supervision of Austrian expert Christian Fink, on March 3, and he needs a period of no less than two months to recover from the injury.
Also present at Al-Ahly Hospital is Yasser Ibrahim, who suffered a torn posterior muscle during the Ghanaian Medeama match at Al-Ahly Stadium on February 23, in which Al-Ahly won with a clean goal. The player is still performing a program to recover from this injury, which kept him out of several Al-Ahly matches in the past period, most notably Zamalek. In the Egypt Cup final, which Al-Ahmar won in his favor by winning a clean double, Yasser Ibrahim needs a period of no less than ten more days to recover and return to the stadiums.
Among the other injuries in Al-Ahly are Mohamed Al-Dawy Christo, Wissam Abu Ali, and Hussein Al-Shahat, but they are minor injuries, as Wissam Abu Ali has recovered from his recent injury in the posterior muscle and will be ready for the Simba match on March 29 to a large extent, and the same is the case for Hussein Al-Shahat, who suffered an injury. He has a muscle problem due to which he left the current national team camp, and the situation seems similar to that of Christo, who does not currently suffer from serious injuries.
