Egypt’s Football Association has provided an injury update on Manchester City winger Omar Marmoush following his early withdrawal against Burkina Faso.
Omar Marmoush was brought down by Mohamed Zougrana after just four minutes of the 0-0 draw, and he was seen clutching his knee.
The tackle occurred in the fourth minute, with Marmoush leaving the pitch in the ninth minute, and he was spotted with a bandage after the game.
Marmoush appeared in good spirits after the match amid reports claiming the Egypt camp didn’t think his injury was too serious.
However, the Manchester City star is not in the clear just yet with regards to the severity of his injury and the recovery time which may follow.
