Omar Marmoush has suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Egypt.
The Manchester City forward limped off just seven minutes into The Pharaohs’ World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso.
After the game, the Egyptian FA confirmed Marmoush had sustained a bruised knee ligament. The setback comes at a critical moment, with City preparing for Sunday’s high-stakes Manchester derby against United.
Egypt’s team doctor provided the update, confirming the injury is not considered long term but will require close monitoring in the coming days.
City manager Pep Guardiola will now be left sweating on the striker’s fitness, as the forward has been an important part of the squad’s attacking setup this season.
