El Karti Continues Absence for Pyramids in AS FAR Second Leg
Egyptian media reports confirmed on Monday that Moroccan international Walid El Karti, a Pyramids FC player, will not be available for the highly anticipated clash against AS FAR next Saturday. This match is the second leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.
El Karti is currently recovering from a thigh muscle injury, which he sustained during his team's Egyptian League match against Haras El Hodoud. This same injury also forced him to miss the first leg, which was played in Rabat and concluded in a 1-1 draw.
The former Wydad AC player is considered one of Pyramids' key figures. He is currently undergoing a treatment program with the hope of returning to action in upcoming matches.
Mauritanian referee Dahane Beida will officiate this anticipated encounter, which will be held in the Egyptian capital, Cairo. AS FAR, often referred to as 'the military team,' needs a crucial victory to secure their spot in the semi-finals.
