Steven Bergwijn, the Dutch international footballer, has been ruled out for several months after sustaining a serious injury during his team's match against Al-Ahly in Egypt.
Bergwijn had been playing well for Al-Ahly and was expected to start against Al-Ittihad, but he suffered a severe knee ligament tear on Tuesday night while trying to defend a header.
The injury is likely to sideline Bergwijn for some time and will require him to undergo further surgery to repair the damage to his knee.
However, Bergwijn has already shown signs of recovery from his injury by participating in training sessions with the rest of the squad. He has also been praised by coach Rudi Völler for his determination and resilience.
While it remains uncertain when Bergwijn will be able to return to play,Serie A Stadium it is clear that he is unlikely to feature prominently for Al-Ahly again until the end of this season.
This injury update comes as a blow to the Egyptian Premier League side, which is currently in the midst of a difficult period following the death of their owner, Mohamed El-Sirani, last year. The club is looking to rebuild its squad and strengthen its youth academy ahead of the upcoming season.
In the meantime, Bergwijn will continue to work hard to recover from his injury and prepare himself for any future matches. His commitment to the sport and his passion for the game will undoubtedly help him overcome any challenges that may come his way.
