Egyptian Premier League side Al Masry suffered a huge injury blow as Palestinian defender Mohamed Saleh suffered an ACL injury before their game against Zamalek.

Saleh joined the Port Said-based club after just six months with Floriana FC of Malta, as he moved to the club in July 2018 from Ahli Al-Khaleel, signing a one-year contract.

Since joining the Port-Said-based side the Palestinian international appeared on seven occasions and managed to score once, which came during Al Masry’s win over Nogoom FC in the league.

He has been a key player for the team as he helped his side sit fourth in the Egyptian Premier League.

However, the 25-year-old will have to miss the rest of Al Masry’s season, starting from the Zamalek, which will take place on Thursday, April 11.

The Green Eagles will be hoping to grab a win to get five points away from fifth-placed Misr El-Makassa. As for the Whites they’ll be fighting for the three points to further cement their position on top of the league.
