Pyramids FC defender Osama Galal faces six-month lay-off

Pyramids FC defender Osama Galal is expected to be sidelined for around six months after suffering a leg fracture.

The Egypt international sustained the injury and is set to undergo surgery as part of his treatment.

Galal’s absence will be a significant blow to Pyramids, who will now have to cope without one of their defensive options for a prolonged period.

The 28-year-old will begin his recovery after surgery, with his rehabilitation expected to determine when he can return to competitive action.

Pyramids have yet to provide a specific date for the operation or confirm the exact nature of the fracture, but the initial assessment indicates that Galal could miss approximately half of the season.

The defender has been an important part of the club’s squad, and his absence is likely to increase competition for places in Pyramids’ defence.

The Egyptian club will hope Galal’s surgery is successful and that he can make a full recovery before returning to first-team football.

A six-month recovery period would mean the defender is unlikely to feature again until 2027, depending on his progress during rehabilitation.
