The Ahli co-captain limped off the pitch late in the second-half of Ahli's Egyptian Super Cup 1-0 win over Enppi on Sunday.

"I tore my groin muscle in a tackle with Enppi's Reda Metwalli," Sayed told FilGoal.com on Monday.

"I need three weeks to recover," he added.

The injury will sideline Sayed for three weeks and add to coach Manuel Jose's worries as he faces depletion in his back line.

Emad Al-Nahhas was injured in Hadi Khashaba's testimonial match on Thursday and will be out for three months while Shadi Mohamed will miss Saturday's game against through suspension.
