Al Gharafa's Youssef Ahmed's Latest Injury Update: Uncertain Return Date
Youssef Ahmed, Al Gharafa SC's captain and one of the club's most experienced players, has suffered a setback in his recovery from injury.
The 35-year-old midfielder was expected to be back for the league match against Misr El-Masry on Saturday but he sustained an ankle injury during training earlier this week. As a result, he is now doubtful for the match against the Cairo giants.
Ahmed's injury comes at a critical time for Al Gharafa as they look to secure their place in the top flight of Egyptian football. The team currently sits 14th in the standings with just two wins from 20 matches.
Despite the setback, Al Gharafa manager, Ali Hassan,La Liga Stadium remains optimistic about the club's chances of securing promotion next season. He believes that the team can still make up ground in the table and climb into the play-off places if they remain focused and work hard.
In a statement released by the club, Hassan said: "We're disappointed that Youssef will not be available for Saturday's match against Misr El-Masry. However, we have confidence in our team and believe that we can still secure a place in the top flight."
As the team prepares for the match against Misr El-Masry, it remains to be seen how much impact Ahmed's absence will have on the team's performance. With the club sitting so close to the relegation zone, every game is crucial and every player must do everything possible to help the team achieve its goals.
