Abouelghar Out of Squash On Fire Open

Men's World No.14 Mohamed Abouelghar has been forced to withdraw from the Squash on Fire Open, taking place between 16-20 February, due to injury.

The Egyptian had been set to make his first appearance on the PSA World Tour since a 2-0 defeat to James Willstrop in the Canary Wharf Classic last November.

Following Abouelghar's withdrawal, Pakistan's World No.46 Tayyab Aslam enters the tournament. The 25-year-old will face France's Lucas Serme in the first round.
