Ahmed Eid, the head of the medical staff at Modern Future Club, disclosed the results of the medical examinations conducted on the player.
Omar Kamal suffered the setback just before the clash with Pyramids in the Egyptian Super Cup.
Omar Kamal was notably absent from his team’s match against Pyramids, a fixture that concluded with Modern Future securing victory through a penalty shootout (14-13), thus securing a spot in the final of the Egyptian Super Cup against Al Ahly.
Upon his return from Abu Dhabi, Omar Kamal underwent comprehensive medical examinations on Tuesday to assess his condition. Dr. Ahmed Eid, speaking through the club’s media center, clarified that the results of the examinations, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were reassuring regarding the player’s health.
Dr. Eid further explained that the results indicated stress in the muscles of the right leg, necessitating a rest period of up to 10 days to ensure Omar Kamal’s well-being in the upcoming crucial period. This cautious approach is particularly important considering the numerous challenges ahead for both the team and the Egyptian national squad.
As Egypt prepares for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in January, Omar Kamal Abdelwahed remains a vital component relied upon by Portuguese coach Rui Vitoria for the national team. The prescribed rest period aligns with a commitment to the player’s welfare as he faces upcoming responsibilities on both the domestic and international fronts.
