📉 Al Masry SC have been dealt a major blow ahead of their highly anticipated clash against Al-Ittihad Tripoli, as key playmaker Mido Gaber has officially been ruled out due to injury.

Medical scans conducted after the team’s league match against Smouha confirmed that Mido Gaber had suffered a sprain in the outer ligament of his knee, sidelining him from the upcoming fixture.

🚑 The midfielder was forced to leave the Smouha match after sustaining the injury, adding to Al Masry’s growing list of absentees, which already includes Youssef El-Gohary, who continues his recovery program following foot surgery, while doubts remain over the readiness of Mohamed Makhlouf and Karim Bambo.

⚽ Under the guidance of Tunisian coach Nabil Kouki, Al Masry will hold their final training session this Saturday evening at the New Suez Stadium, ahead of Sunday’s decisive second-leg match of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round, scheduled for 9 PM.

The first leg in Tripoli ended in a goalless draw, meaning Al Masry must win by any scoreline to secure qualification to the next round and continue their continental campaign.

💪 Despite the mounting injury concerns, Al Masry are determined to overcome adversity and give their passionate fans a reason to celebrate as they chase African glory this season.
