getting ready team Al-Ahly of Egypt To face the Sudanese Al Hilal next Sunday at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo in an Arab summit in the sixth and final round of the group stage competitions CAF Champions League.
The South African coach, Pitso Mosimane, coach of the Egyptian Al-Ahly team, faces a number of absences during a very important confrontation, absences that may threaten the title holder’s journey to continue in the tournament.
Al-Ahly of Egypt is missing the services of the duo Ahmed Nabil Kouka and the Moroccan Badr Banon as a result of being infected with the Corona virus, while Akram Tawfiq is undergoing a rehabilitation period at the Aspire Academy in the State of Qatar, and he has been absent since the beginning of the season following a cruciate ligament injury, which he was exposed to during the Egypt team’s match once morest Nigeria In the African Nations Cup, Salah Mohsen continues to be absent following he sustained a broken metatarsal in the foot during Al-Ahly’s match once morest El-Gouna in the League Cup.
The duo, Mahmoud Metwally and Walid Suleiman, who decided to retire at the end of the current season, remained outside Musimani’s accounts due to the decline in technical returns.
Ramy Rabia and Hamdi Fathi were injured during the Egyptian team’s last confrontation with Senegal in the World Cup qualifiers, to catch the duo of defender Mohamed Abdel Moneim, who suffered a broken nose during the first leg once morest the “Teranga Lions”.
The Sudanese Al Hilal team needs to win only in order to qualify for the quarter-finals, as Sayed Al-Balad has not been able to overcome the group stage obstacle since the 2015 season, during which he was eliminated from the semi-finals.
On the other hand, Al-Ahly of Egypt is enough to draw, or achieve victory in order to settle the qualification ticket to the quarter-finals of the African Champions and continue the campaign to defend the title.
The significant absences will complicate Al-Ahly’s task during the decisive confrontation, which will make the task of the Century team more difficult at a time when the Sudanese Crescent enters the meeting with full ranks.
