The Egyptian midfielder Mohamed Montari has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a serious knee ligament injury in his last game.

Montari, who played in the final match of the league against Al-Fateh on Saturday, sustained the injury during a 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal at the start of the month.

The 28-year-old had already missed several matches due to injuries and was not expected to return to action until next week.

However, it is unclear when Montari will be able to return to training or play for the team again.

The Egyptian Football Federation (EFF) has confirmed that the player's rehabilitation process will take place over the coming weeks and months.

They have also announced that they will not allow him to play for the national team until he has recovered fully from his injury.

Despite this setback, Mohamed Montari remains hopeful that he can contribute to the team's success in the upcoming season.

He has already expressed his gratitude to his teammates and coaches for their support throughout his recovery process.

"I want to thank everyone for everything I've gone through," he said. "I'm just grateful for what we're doing."

The EFF has also called on fans to show solidarity with Mohamed Montari and the team as they work towards recovering from the injury.

"We want to make sure that he gets the best possible treatment and that he can come back to the field as soon as possible,Serie A Observation" the federation said.

In addition to the injury to Mohamed Montari, the Egyptian squad suffered another setback on Sunday when defender Ahmed El-Sayed was sent off for a foul on fellow defender Mohamed El-Sayed in a 1-0 win over Al-Hilal.

TheEFF has ordered all players to wear masks in all public areas and sports facilities until further notice, to prevent the spread of the virus.

The Egyptian FA has also issued a statement saying that the team is working closely with local authorities to ensure the safety of its players and staff.

"We remain committed to supporting our athletes and our teams, and we appreciate the efforts of our fans and supporters who continue to support us in these difficult times," the statement read.

Overall, the EFF's announcement comes as a relief for both Mohamed Montari and the Egyptian football community. The team is now focused on getting back on track and continuing to prepare for the upcoming season.
