Egypt prepare Ahmed Fatouh with rehabilitation program after recent injury

International Ahmed Fatouh has begun his recovery journey from a recent injury through an intensive rehabilitation program overseen by the medical committees of the Egypt national team, in order to ensure the return of the Pharaohs' defensive pillar as soon as possible.

The medical staff is working to accelerate the player's recovery and ensure his return to the pitch in optimal physical and technical condition, while avoiding a recurrence of the injury or rushing his participation before complete healing.

Medical reports have revealed that the reason for Ahmed Fatouh's exit from the match against South Sudan was a severe thigh bruise, which is the initial diagnosis made by the medical staff after examining the player following his departure from the pitch.

Ahmed Fatouh is set to undergo a special treatment protocol under the supervision of the national team doctor to assess his response to the rehabilitation program before returning to group training.

Egypt secured a resounding victory over South Sudan with a score of 5-0 on Tuesday at Juba Stadium, in the second round of Africa Cup of Nations Qualification for 2027.
