Ferreira is considering giving Mohamed Shehata the opportunity to participate against Dekedaha of Somalia
Cairo 24 learned from its sources that the Belgian Yannick Ferreira, the coach of the first football team at Zamalek Club, is considering giving the player Mohamed Shehata the opportunity to participate in part of the match, after he appeared at a distinguished level during the recent training sessions.
According to what Cairo 24 learned, Mohamed Shehata participated in the group training during the past days, and presented a good technical and physical performance, which encouraged the technical staff to consider fielding him during tomorrow’s confrontation, to give him the opportunity to gradually return to official participation.
The player’s participation opportunities increased in light of the absence of Nabil Imad Dunga due to injury, which prompted Ferreira to search for suitable alternatives to strengthen the midfield against the Somali team.
The technical staff hopes to fully equip Shehata during the coming period, in preparation for his adoption as one of the basic elements in the upcoming local and continental matches.
Earlier, a Zamalek club source revealed the secret of the long absence of the team’s midfielder, Mohamed Shehata, and his failure to return to training yet, despite what was said that the injury was a strain in the posterior muscle.
The source confirmed in exclusive statements to Cairo 24 that Mohamed Shehata from the first moment the injury was diagnosed as an injury to the posterior tendon, and the matter was close to causing a tear in this tendon had it not been for the early diagnosis.
The source added that the diagnosis of the injury from the time the player was exposed to it on August 21 was that the player needed 5 to 6 weeks to return again to group training.
The source continued his statements that the duration of the player’s absence is normal, and therefore everything that was reported about a strain in the back muscle or something like that is incorrect.
