Celtic winger Haissem Hassan has withdrawn from Egypt’s international squad with an unspecified injury and is receiving intensive treatment, Egypt manager Hossam Hassan confirmed. The £9 million summer signing will miss the team’s upcoming fixtures, while his recovery timeline remains unclear. The injury adds to Celtic’s concerns as the club manages its squad, though Egypt’s coach said he expects Hassan to return once fully fit and believes the national team has enough depth in his absence.
Key Points
1
Hassan had made nine appearances for Celtic since joining from Real Oviedo, starting five of them.
2
Egypt had selected Hassan for two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and South Sudan, followed by a Cairo friendly against South Africa.
3
Hassan was left on the bench for both of Celtic’s Glasgow derby defeats; manager Martin O’Neill had attributed his absence from the 3-0 loss at Ibrox to an “overnight issue,” not an injury.
4
One report said Hassan had yet to record a goal or assist for Celtic, and noted that Jota’s expected return from injury and Hyunjun Yang’s return to contention after the international break could provide other wing options.
