Africa-Press – Mauritius. Egypt have been dealt a major injury blow after the national team’s medical staff confirmed that Mohamed Hamdi’s season is over following the injury he sustained in their match against Benin.
The defender went down while attempting to clear a ball during the game and was unable to continue, immediately raising concerns among teammates and the technical bench. Subsequent medical assessments have now confirmed the worst, with the Egyptian medical team ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
Beyond the immediate setback, there are growing fears that Hamdi’s recovery timeline could extend further, potentially putting his participation at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in serious doubt. While no official return date has been announced, sources close to the team suggest the injury is significant and will require a lengthy rehabilitation period.
Hamdi has been an important figure for Egypt, valued for his defensive discipline and consistency, and his absence will be keenly felt as the Pharaohs navigate a demanding calendar ahead.
The Egyptian Football Association is expected to continue monitoring his recovery closely, with further updates anticipated in the coming months as the player begins his rehabilitation journey.
