“Scans confirmed that the player is suffering from a right knee cap and will be out for up to three weeks,” club doctor Moastafa El-Monayeri told FilGoal.com on Saturday.

The German’s saving grace will be the return of Mahmoud Abul-Razeq ‘Shikabala’, who should be back to play against Olympic after serving a four-months suspension.
Meanwhile, striker Abdul-Halim striker failed to show up for the team’s Saturday morning training session.
