Egypt defender Abdelwahab dies of heart attack during training

Egypt defender Mohammed Abdelwahab died of a heart attack Thursday after collapsing on the field while practising with his club Al Ahly, the team said on its website.

``In a difficult and saddening news, the well-mannered player Abdelwahab died of a heart attack in the course of team training Thursday morning,'' the club said.
