Al Ahly will head into Tuesday’s Nile Egyptian League clash against Haras El Hodoud with several injury concerns in the squad.
Team doctor Ahmed Gaballah confirmed that playmaker Mohamed Magdy “Afsha” felt discomfort in his calf muscle towards the end of training and will undergo scans in the coming hours to determine the extent of the problem.
Meanwhile, the trio of Ahmed Ramadan “Beckham,” Ahmed Nabil “Koka,” and Tunisian midfielder Mohamed Ben Romdhane were left out of the squad due to muscle fatigue and lack of full fitness.
Meanwhile, two stars, Emam Ashour and Ahmed Zizo also continue to miss the games due to injuries.
On a brighter note, winger Ahmed Abdelkader has returned to the matchday list for the first time this season, offering a boost to coach Emad El-Nahas. The manager has also called up three promising youngsters as part of the squad for the trip.
Al Ahly take on Haras El Hodoud at 2:00 PM GMT on Tuesday in Matchday 8 of the Nile Egyptian League.
