Harras Hodoud quashed rumors claiming that their squad was hit by H1N1 flu. “It is untrue that some players have been hit by the H1N1 flu,” Hodoud official Mohamed Helmi told FilGoal.com. “We have a number of flu cases in the meantime, but there is no swine flu like some reports had claimed. The players are OK.” Egypt international defender Ahmed Saied ‘Ouka' is believed to be one of the ill players from the Hodoud squad. Last winter, a number of Gaish players were hit by the H1N1 virus but were treated immediately. Meanwhile, veteran defender Islam Al-Shater has succefully underwent knee surgery which will keep him out of action for three months.
