Hamed Hamdan will miss Pyramids FC's next league match against Zamalek after being sent off in the game against Al Masry.
The midfielder's absence comes automatically under the regulations after he received two yellow cards in the same match, which resulted in a red card and a one-match suspension.
His absence represents a blow for Pyramids ahead of an important fixture in the title race, given his value in midfield and his role in balancing both defensive and attacking duties.
The technical staff will now look for the right replacement before the expected showdown with Zamalek.
