– Al Ahly’s winger Taher Mohamed Taher sustained a tear at the origin of his anterior thigh muscle during the team’s final training session, which required him to leave the pitch immediately and undergo thorough medical examinations.

– According to medical reports, the expected recovery period is between 4 to 8 weeks. This rules him out of Al Ahly’s group stage matches in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup against Brazil’s Palmeiras and Portugal’s Porto. Even if Al Ahly qualify for the Round of 16, Taher is unlikely to feature.

– Taher has been one of Al Ahly’s key offensive assets this season, contributing with goals and assists in previous matches. He was considered the first choice to strengthen both the wings and the attacking midfield.

Details of the Injury and Its Impact on Al Ahly
Type of Injury: Tear at the origin of the anterior thigh muscle
Expected Recovery Time: One to two months
Treatment Protocol: Physical therapy programs, muscle-strengthening sessions, and gradual rehabilitation to return to full fitness
Team Status Before Palmeiras Clash
Al Ahly started their Club World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Inter Miami, making it vital to secure a positive result against Palmeiras to remain in contention for the top spot in the group.
The coaching staff plans to compensate for Taher’s absence by relying on experienced alternatives such as Aliou Dieng and Akram Tawfik to make up for the lost speed and dynamism on the flanks.
