Al-Shahat was injured while taking the kick due to his collision with a Simba player, which required the intervention of the medical team, who stayed by his side for several minutes before regaining consciousness and helping him leave the field.
Swiss coach Marcel Koller, Al-Ahly coach, said: “We hope that Hussein El-Shahat will return quickly because we need him.”
