Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly have been dealt with a massive blow following injury to influential winger Taher Mohamed.
The 28-year-old has picked up a strain in his anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out of the sides next two games at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Following a medical test, it has been confirmed the enterprising attacker will not be available for the matches against Palmeiras of Brazil and Porto of Portugal.
Taher Mohamed is scheduled to begin a treatment and rehabilitation program in the coming period, hoping to prepare him for a return to action after recovering from his injury.
Al-Ahly faces a daunting task against Palmeiras on Thursday in the second round of Group A of the Club World Cup, at MetLife Stadium in New York.
Having shared spoils with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami at Hard Rock Stadium, the African giants will be hoping to pick their first win at the tournament, when they take on the Brazilian outfit.
