The journey back to full fitness has hit another obstacle. The Al Ahly goalkeeper, who recently returned to training after a prolonged absence, finds himself sidelined once again.
Mohamed Elshenawy’s hopes of a triumphant comeback have been dashed as news emerges of a fresh setback.
Despite his diligent efforts to reclaim his spot on the field, the 35-year-old custodian encountered a new injury during a training session with the Al Ahly squad, casting doubt on his imminent return to action.
The latest blow comes in the form of a calf injury, potentially prolonging Elshenawy’s spell on the sidelines.
With his participation in the upcoming Egyptian championship fixture against Ismaily hanging in the balance, the goalkeeper’s immediate future remains uncertain pending further medical assessments.
Elshenawy’s ordeal traces back to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where he sustained an injury that sidelined him for several months.
Despite his resilient efforts to recuperate and rejoin his teammates on the pitch, fate has dealt him another setback, underscoring the unpredictable nature of professional sport.
As medical examinations are poised to shed light on the extent of his injury, Elshenawy’s plight serves as a sobering reminder of the physical toll endured by athletes in their quest for excellence.
With Al Ahly and their faithful supporters anxiously awaiting news of his recovery, the goalkeeper’s determination to overcome adversity resonates as a testament to his unwavering commitment to the beautiful game.
