Croatian coach Krunoslav Jurčić has announced the Pyramids FC squad for the upcoming CAF Champions League semi-final clash against South Africa’s Orlando Pirates.
Pyramids will host Orlando Pirates in the second leg of the CAF Champions League semi-finals on Friday at 6 PM GMT.
The squad continues to miss star winger Ibrahim Adel for the third consecutive game due to injury before the second quarter-final clash against Morocco's AS FAR.
A huge blow for Pyramids — Ibrahim Adel is the joint top scorer in this season's CAF Champions League with 5 goals, level with Al Ahly’s Emam Ashour.
The squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Ahmed El Shenawy –Sherif Ekramy – Youssef Nader
Defenders: Mohamed Chibi – Ali Gabr – Karim Hafez – Ahmed Samy – Mahmoud Marei – Mohamed Hamdy
Midfielders: Blati Touré – Mostafa Fathi – Mohannad Lasheen – Abdelrahman Magdy – Sodiq Awujoola – Ahmed Tawfik – Ramadan Sobhi – Mahmoud Dunga – Ahmed Atef Kotta – Walid El Karti
Forwards: Youssef Obama – Dodo El Gabbas – Marwan Hamdy – Fiston Mayele
The first leg between Orlando Pirates and Pyramids, held at Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, ended in a goalless draw which makes today's game decisive for the final game spot.
