Feyenoord officials had hoped that Hossam Ghaly's groin problems would end in the winter break, but it seems that the groin injury will take around a month and a half and Ghaly will have to be rested during that period. Ghaly's injury came as a result of the high work load and it already cost him missing some important matches for Feyenoord.

It should be noted that Ghaly and his Tunisian teammate at Feyenoord, Karim Saidi will miss the ACN which will kick off on Friday. Saii will also miss the tournament because of a pulled hamstring injury.
