Egypt National Team Doctor Clarifies the Status of Injured Players Before Facing Australia
Dr. Mohamed Abou El-Ela, the doctor of the Egyptian national team, revealed the latest developments regarding the medical condition of the national team's trio, Mohamed Salah, Ahmed Fattouh, and Mohamed Abdelmonem, following the injuries they sustained during the match against Iran. This comes ahead of the anticipated match against Australia in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup.
The national team's doctor explained that medical tests showed that Mohamed Salah is suffering from a strain in the hamstring muscle. He has already started his treatment program, with optimism about his potential participation in the match against Australia.
On the other hand, the coaching staff received a major blow after scans revealed that Ahmed Fattouh had a tear in his hamstring, making it extremely difficult for him to join the match against Australia, thus largely excluding him from the coaching staff's plans.
As for Mohamed Abdel Moneim, he suffered a severe bruise on his ankle, and the medical team continues to work on preparing him, with high hopes for his participation against Australia if he responds to treatment as required.
The coaching staff, led by Hossam Hassan, is monitoring the medical condition developments of the trio in the coming days, given the importance of the match against Australia, which represents a crucial milestone in the Pharaohs' journey in the 2026 World Cup.
