As Pyramids FC prepares to face Ismaily SC this Saturday, December 21, in the Egyptian Premier League, the team faces a significant challenge: the absence of key players. Ramadan Sobhi, Youssef Obama, Mahmoud Dunga, and Lashin are among those sidelined for the crucial 5th-round encounter, impacting the Heirs of the Pharaohs’ quest for victory.
Sobhi, one of the team’s standout performers, is ruled out due to a connective muscle injury, while Dunga and Lashin also miss the match with injury woes. Although Youssef Obama has recovered from his own setback, he remains unfit for competitive action. Adding to the headache, defender Mahmoud Merhi will sit out the clash after accumulating two yellow cards in prior matches.
This game is critical for Pyramids FC, who sit 6th on the league table with 7 points, as they look to bounce back from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Al Masry in their previous outing.
Meanwhile, Ismaily SC, currently 14th with just 4 points, will aim to exploit their opponents’ depleted squad. The match kicks off at 6 p.m. GMT.
