Zamalek SC have confirmed a worrying injury update on Mahmoud Bentayg, dealing a blow to the squad at a decisive stage of the season.
The Moroccan international missed the club’s recent clash against Pyramids FC in the third round of the Egyptian Premier League’s final phase.
Hamstring Problem Confirmed
Medical assessments have revealed that Bentayg is suffering from a hamstring injury, an issue that had been troubling him earlier in the week.
The club’s technical team opted against risking the player, ruling him out of the high-stakes encounter after he was deemed unfit.
Rehabilitation Programme Underway
Bentayg has now begun a specialised rehabilitation programme under the supervision of Zamalek’s medical staff.
The focus remains on accelerating his recovery, with the club working intensively to have him available for the upcoming fixture against ENPPI SC.
The match is scheduled for Monday and forms part of the fourth round of the league’s decisive title stage.
Race Against Time in Title Run-In
With the Egyptian Premier League entering its most critical phase, Bentayg’s availability could prove crucial.
Zamalek are locked in a competitive title race, where squad depth and fitness are increasingly decisive factors.
Wider Injury Concerns Emerging
Bentayg’s setback adds to growing concerns over injuries involving Moroccan players abroad.
His situation follows closely after Youssef Belamri suffered a serious injury while featuring for Al Ahly SC.
Key Days Ahead
The coming days will be pivotal in determining whether Bentayg can return in time to bolster Zamalek’s push for silverware.
For now, the club remains in a race against time—hoping their key player can recover quickly enough to influence the final stretch of the season.
