Petrojet Asyut prepares to face Eastern Company with a full lineup except for Ahmed Khaled.
Petrojet will face Eastern Company on Tuesday in the second round of the group stage of the Cairo Cup with a full squad, having no absences due to suspensions or injuries, except for the absence of striker Ahmed Khaled, who is sidelined due to a recent injury.
The coaching staff of Petrojet, led by Reda Shahat, is preparing to enter the match at full strength, aiming for a positive result to compensate for their heavy 5-0 loss to Al Ahly in the first round of the tournament.
Ahmed Khaled out for Petrojet due to injury
Ahmed Khaled continues his rehabilitation program after undergoing surgery to treat a leg fracture and tears in two ligaments in his foot, which he sustained during a match against Zamalek in the seventh round of the Egyptian Premier League.
The Petrojet striker is set to follow a rehabilitation program over the coming period, in preparation for regaining his physical and technical fitness and returning to training and matches in about three months.
Reda Shahat aims for first victory with Petrojet
Reda Shahat hopes to lead Petrojet to their first victory during his tenure after starting with a draw against Ghazl El Mahalla, with each team scoring one goal in the eighth round of the Egyptian league. He seeks to capitalize on the readiness of the other players to achieve a positive result against Eastern Company in the Cairo Cup.
Petrojet has entered a closed camp in Cairo for a week in preparation for two important matches ahead, against Eastern Company in the Cairo Cup and against Tala'ea El Gaish in the Round of 32 of the Egypt Cup, as the coaching staff led by Reda Shahat aims to prepare the players in the best possible way and achieve positive results.
