Ahmed Fatouh, the Egyptian national team player, suffered a strong injury during his participation in the Pharaohs' match against South Sudan, which was held as part of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Egyptian national team defeated its host, South Sudan, by five goals to nil, in the match that brought the two teams together this evening, Tuesday, at Juba Stadium, as part of the second round of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ahmed Fatouh complained of an injury in the thigh muscles, just minutes after the start of the second half of the match, which necessitated his substitution in the 53rd minute for Karim Hafez.
A source within the Egyptian national team confirmed in exclusive statements to Yalla Kora that Ahmed Fatouh is suffering from a bruise in the thigh muscles, and will undergo further medical examinations in the coming hours to determine the nature of the injury more precisely.
Today's match marks the first victory for the Egyptian national team in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, as the Pharaohs drew goalless in the previous round against Angola at Cairo Stadium.
The Egyptian national team, led by its coach Hossam Hassan, is preparing to face South Africa in a friendly match on October 4th at Cairo Stadium, marking the conclusion of the current Pharaohs camp.
