Algerian Ahmed El-Kandoussi, a star for Ceramica Cleopatra, suffered a serious injury during his team's match against FC Pharco in the Egyptian Premier League.
Ahmed Al-Qandousi suffered a serious injury when Yassin Al-Mallah tackled him violently during the match, which required the game to be stopped and the player to be quickly taken away for treatment.
Medical reports confirmed that the injury included a broken foot that required urgent medical intervention.
Ceramica Cleopatra defeated Pharco 2-0, with goals from Ahmed Ramadan "Beckham" and Mohamed Reda "Bobo", in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League's crowning stage.
Several players and technical staff members burst into tears after Kandoussi's injury, and he was immediately transferred to a hospital in Alexandria.
It's worth noting that Ahmed Qandousi joined Ceramica Cleopatra on loan from Al Ahly at the beginning of last season, and the loan was renewed for another season with the right to purchase his contract.
The Algerian player participated in 19 matches this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 7 assists.
