Urgent Surgical Intervention in Cairo

Mostafa Fathi, a central figure in the Pyramids FC attack, underwent a successful surgical procedure on Sunday, April 19, 2026, to address a serious collarbone injury. The surgery was performed at a private hospital in Cairo under the supervision of Dr. Ashraf Nehad Moharram, a renowned consultant in orthopedic surgery. According to club medical reports, the operation was completed without complications, successfully stabilizing the fracture with internal fixation. The 31-year-old playmaker had been referred for urgent intervention after initial diagnostic imaging confirmed the severity of the bone displacement.

Casualty of a Mid-Season Friendly Encounter

The injury occurred during a friendly exhibition match against Helwan Al-Am, organized as part of Pyramids' tactical preparations for the resumption of the Egyptian Premier League. Fathi was forced off the pitch following a heavy fall, with early assessments by the team’s medical staff immediately identifying a clavicle dislocation. The loss of Fathi is a significant blow for manager Krunoslav Jurčić, as the player had been in peak physical condition following his participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year. According to club sources, the friendly was intended to maintain match sharpness ahead of a high-stakes fixture against Zamalek.

Rehabilitation Timeline and Return to Play

Following the successful operation, Fathi is scheduled to remain under observation for a brief period before commencing a structured rehabilitation and physiotherapy program. Medical experts suggest that recovery from a fractured clavicle typically requires a period of four to six weeks before a player can return to full-contact training. The initial phase of his recovery will focus on restoring range of motion in the shoulder without compromising the integrity of the surgical site. According to the club’s medical department, Fathi is expected to return to group training by late May, provided he meets all recovery milestones.
