Doctor Ehab Ali confirmed that the 30-year old player will be sidelined for a month before resuming action.

He will miss league games against Gaish, Baladeya and Suez Cement as he won't be back before January 11th.

The problem means that he will also miss a big part of the Pharaohs' preparation for the African Nations Cup. The National team is set to start their pre-campaign on December 26.
