Cairo powerhouse Zamalek SC has suffered a significant setback ahead of their crucial CAF Champions League clash against Kaizer Chiefs.
Midfielder Nabil Dunga is facing a spell on the sidelines after sustaining a sprain to the medial ligament in his knee, Al Youm Al Sabea reported. The injury occurred during training, and the extent of the damage was confirmed by the club’s medical staff.
Zamalek officials have revealed the nature of the injury sustained by Nabil Emad, commonly known as Dunga, according to FilGoal. The diagnosis points to a medial knee ligament sprain, prompting concerns about his availability for upcoming matches.
The timing of Dunga’s injury is particularly unfortunate for Zamalek, as they prepare to face South African side Kaizer Chiefs in a highly anticipated Champions League fixture. The match is set to be a key contest in Group C, with both teams vying for a spot in the knockout stages. Zamalek will need all hands on deck to secure a positive result against a formidable opponent.
