Egyptian club Ahly will have to do without midfielder Amr El-Sulaya for almost a month due to injury.
"Scans showed that El-Sulaya suffered from a hamstring tear and will need from three to four weeks for a full recovery," Ahly Doctor Khaled Mahmoud stated to the club's official website.
"He will need a special rehabilitation programme too," the doctor added.
The former Ismaily star El-Sulaya, 26, sustained his injury during Wednesday's 3-0 win over Tala El-Geish in the Egyptian Premier League as he left the pitch in the first half and didn't continue the game.
On Sunday, Ahly crushed promoted El-Nasr Taadeen 3-0 to move back to the top of the league with 29 points, two ahead of surprise package Maqassa who have a game in hand.
