Egypt goalkeeper Mahdy Soliman suffers serious injury with club; out at least 2 months



Mahdy Soliman, the goalkeeper of the Egyptian national team and Al-Ittihad Alexandria Club, sustained a serious injury during his team's match against Tala'ea El Gaish on Saturday in the Egyptian Premier League.


Soliman suffered a fracture in the fibula bone of his foot following a challenge from a Tala'ea El Gaish player while attempting to avoid the tackle. Initial medical examinations confirmed the fracture. Recovery time for such injuries typically ranges from 6 to 8 weeks without surgery. However, returning to full sports activity could extend the total recovery time to approximately 8 to 12 weeks, including rehabilitation.

The match ended in a 1-0 victory for Tala'ea El Gaish, with the decisive goal scored in the final minutes after Soliman was forced to leave the field due to his injury.


It is worth noting that Mahdy Soliman has been part of the Egyptian national team squad in recent times and is considered a key player for his club in the domestic league. After a career spent mostly as a backup or rotation keeper, the 37-year-old is enjoying a career renaissance with Al-Ittihad resulting in his call to the national team where he is still yet to debut.
