Egyptian midfielder Hosni Abd-Rabou faces a month on the sidelines after suffering a groin injury in Al-Nasr’s 2-1 victory over Al-Taawon in the Saudi League on Monday.
Abd-Rabou will miss Al-Nasr’s upcoming game against rivals Hilal on Saturday and Egypt’s friendly game against Benin on 7 September, Egypt’s state-run news agency MENA reported.
The 28-year-old scored his maiden goal for Al-Nasr in their win over Al-Taawon, firing a low shot into an empty net following a pull-back from the left.
He joined Al-Nasr from Egyptian Premier League side Ismaily on a season-long loan in June.
