Mohamed Khatari was taken to the Ismailia Medical Complex after collapsing moments following Ismaily SC’s clash with Modern Sport FC.
The player reportedly lost consciousness on the pitch shortly after the final whistle, prompting immediate medical attention.
Collision Incident Raises Concern
The worrying episode followed an earlier collision in the first half involving Khatari and the Modern Sport goalkeeper.
Despite receiving treatment at the time, the Ismaily player chose to continue playing—against the advice of the club’s medical staff.
His decision to carry on would later prove concerning, as he collapsed after the game.
Defeat Compounds Ismaily’s Problems
On the pitch, Ismaily SC suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat to Modern Sport FC.
The result leaves the club rooted at the bottom of the relegation group standings with just 14 points, increasing the pressure as the season reaches a critical stage.
Brief Break Before Crucial Fixture
Following the defeat, Ismaily’s technical staff have granted players a 24-hour break to recover.
The team is set to resume training on Sunday as preparations begin for a crucial encounter against Petrojet SC.
That fixture, scheduled for Tuesday, will be part of the seventh round of the relegation phase—one that could prove decisive in their fight for survival.
Focus on Recovery and Survival
While the immediate concern remains Khatari’s health, Ismaily must quickly refocus on their battle to avoid relegation.
With time running out and pressure mounting, both medical updates and on-field results will be closely watched in the coming days.
