Al Ahly midfielder Omar El Saaiy sustained a calf injury during the team’s 2-1 away win over Uganda’s Kitara FC in the first leg of the CAF Confederation Cup Round of 32 on Saturday, the club’s doctor Ahmed Gaballah said.
Gaballah, head of Al Ahly’s medical staff, said El Saaiy underwent a medical examination after the match, which revealed a severe contusion and pain in his calf muscle.
The doctor added that the midfielder will undergo a recovery programme before being examined again upon the team’s return to Cairo.
El Saaiy scored Al Ahly’s opening goal in the match as the Red Eagles secured a 2-1 victory to take an advantage into the second leg.
