Ahmed Hegazi Undergoes Successful Surgery, Announces Ittihad Jeddah

On Friday, Ittihad Jeddah announced that Egypt's defender Ahmed Hegazi underwent successful surgery on the cruciate ligament of his left knee.

Hegazi sustained the injury during the Ittihad's clash against Al-Fayha FC. The injury caused him to miss the final round of the Saudi Professional League against Al-Tai.

The Saudi club said in a statement: "Ahmed Hegazi underwent a successful surgery on the cruciate ligament of his left knee in the British capital, London, on Wednesday."

"The player will start a treatment and rehabilitation program in the coming period before returning to the team's training," the statement added.

Al Ittihad won the Saudi Pro League after a tough strive with Riyadh's Al Nassr for the title.

Hegazi became among the Jeddah-based club's historical captains who captured two titles with the club in one season.
