egyptian Premier League side, ittihad of Alexandria, have imposed a hefty punishment on the first team's right back Hesham Ismail.
Salah has been a regular starter for Ittihad this season, having played 11 of their 14 games so far, including their last game against Bank Al ahly.

As a result, the former Telecom Egypt man was punished by the club, who deducted a large amount from his salary,
