CIBSquash: Is Abou back soon??
CIB Mohamed Abouelghar is one of the most entertaining and exciting players on the PSA World Tour, spending the last six years inside the world’s top 20 and reaching a highest ranking of World No.7 in 2019. His ranking has slipped of late due to a knee injury that has plagued the 28-year-old for a number of years now.
His last event was the Canary Wharf Classic in November 2021 where he lost out to England’s James Willstrop. Abouelghar hasn’t featured in a PSA event since. We caught up with Mohamed to check on his recovery and get some more information about his progress.
So, what happened?
“So I’ve had this for almost a year and a half now. I had pain in my knee. But I didn’t know where the pain was coming from. I had so many orthopaedics, many physios and no one could really put their finger on what the problem is.
