Administrative delay puts debut on hold: Hamza Abdelkarim returns to Egypt<\/p>\n
Young Egyptian striker Hamza Abdelkarim returned to Egypt to accelerate his work permit process before his official debut with Barcelona Atl\u00e8tic.<\/p>\n
Barcelona prospect Hamza Abdelkarim has temporarily returned to Egypt as part of efforts to speed up administrative procedures related to his work permit.<\/p>\n
According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the 18 year-old striker left Spain after delays in the bureaucratic process prevented his official registration and match participation with Barcelona Atl\u00e8tic.<\/p>\n
As a result, Abdelkarim is currently unable to play competitive matches, with his debut date remaining unclear until the permit is fully approved.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The report explained that Abdelkarim\u2019s situation depends entirely on the completion of the work permit which is mandatory requirement before he can take part in official competitions.<\/p>\n Barcelona faced similar cases in the past where players were required to return to their home countries to complete paperwork more quickly.<\/p>\n This step is seen as practical solution to avoid further delays.<\/p>\n Despite the setback, the club remains calm about the situation and continues to follow the process closely.<\/p>\n Before leaving Spain, Abdelkarim already started training with Barcelona Atl\u00e8tic and made positive impression on the coaching staff.<\/p>\n However reports noted that he still needs time to improve his physical condition before being fully ready for match action.<\/p>\n The Egyptian forward is viewed as a long-term project, with the club focusing on gradual development rather than rushing his debut.<\/p>\nRegistration still on hold<\/h2>\n
