CAIRO: Ismaili marksman Youssef Gamal is set to undergo knee surgery to repair his damaged cruciate ligament, and thus will be ruled out of action for the remainder of the term.

The coastal club s official website mentioned that the 25-year-old suffered a cruciate ligament rupture during a recent friendly game.

He s expected to make his return after eight months.

Gamal is the fifth Ismaili player to sustain a cruciate ligament problem this year, as Ahmed Khairy, Abdullah Al-Shahat, Omar Gamal and Mohamed Fathi picked up similar injuries earlier this season.

The Dervishes are currently preparing for the next Egyptian Premier League match against Gaish on Wednesday.
