In 2025, Mohamed Abdelmonem, the Egyptian defender for OGC Nice, is experiencing a year marked by significant events both on and off the pitch. Suffering a ruptured right knee ACL during the match against Paris Saint-Germain in April abruptly ended his season. This serious injury puts his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for December 2025 in doubt, which is a major setback for the Egyptian national team.
Meanwhile, parallel negotiations are heating up regarding a possible return of Abdelmonem to his former club, Al Ahly, on loan to reinforce the defense for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. The loan is favored by the early end of the French league and would allow the player to bring valuable experience to a highly competitive tournament where Al Ahly will face teams like Inter Miami and FC Porto.
Before his injury, Abdelmonem had a promising season with Nice, totaling 15 appearances in Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Europa League. His playing style combines defensive solidity and technical quality, earning him multiple interests. Even sidelined, his reputation remains strong thanks to his fighting spirit and versatility.
Finally, his future remains a closely watched topic among fans and analysts. Whether a temporary return to Egypt or a gradual recovery at Nice, Mohamed Abdelmonem is a player whose career continues to attract attention in African and European football.
