It was initially thought that Ibrahim would be out of action for three weeks, thus missing Zamalek’s Champions League clash against arch-rivals Ahli on September 14th.

But after undergoing further scans, Ibrahim found out that he might be sidelined for a lengthier spell.

“I will follow all the instructions of Zamalek doctors because I want to be back sooner than expected,” Ibrahim told FilGoal.com on Thursday.

Ibrahim, who came through Zamalek’s youth ranks, has established himself as a regular first-team member under coach Reiner Hollmann.

He played as a midfielder, playmaker and a right-back this season.
