Injury of Al-Ahly Star Seconds Before the "Super" Match Against Raja

The Egyptian Al-Ahly team suffered a major blow just seconds before the kickoff of the African Super Cup match against the Moroccan Raja, with the injury of midfielder Amr El-Soulia. As Al-Ahly players took their positions on the field in preparation for the opening whistle, El-Soulia fell to the ground in a strange scene that football fans are not accustomed to. After falling in pain on the field, the medical staff entered to examine the player before carrying him off the field while limping, leading to his forced substitution. The cause of El-Soulia's injury has not yet been revealed, nor has it been explained how he did not feel the injury during training and warm-up. This injury represented an unanticipated blow to Al-Ahly before the final match of the African Super Cup against Raja, held at the Al-Rayyan Stadium in Qatar.
