Blow for Egypt as youth talent Omar Khedr faces injury setback before Ghana clash

Egypt’s hopes of reaching the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals have been shaken by a worrying injury to rising star Omar Khedr.

The Aston Villa forward picked up a knock during Friday’s group stage match against Tanzania and is now a major doubt for Monday’s quarter-final showdown with Ghana at the New Suez Stadium.

Omar Khedr, one of Egypt’s most exciting young prospects, will undergo medical tests to assess the extent of his injury. His absence would be a significant loss for the Pharaohs as they chase a spot in the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile.

Team officials confirmed that Mohab Samy, Ahmed Wahid, and Seif Safaga are also nursing minor muscle problems following the Tanzania game. However, their conditions are being monitored and updates are expected soon.

The stakes couldn’t be higher as the winner of the Egypt-Ghana match will book a place at the prestigious global tournament. Egypt’s young squad will be hoping for positive news on Omar Khedr’s fitness as they prepare for a high-pressure clash.
