Al-Ahly club, under the leadership of Swiss Marcel Kohler, is preparing to face Orlando Pirates in the second round of the group stage of the African Champions League.
-What is happening within Al-Ahly before the Orlando match?
It is considered one of the most prominent moments that confirmed the absence of Mustafa Schubert from the team’s roster due to a muscle injury, which prompted Kohler to include Mustafa Makhlouf and Hamza Alaa alongside veteran Mohamed El-Shenawy.
At a time when Mahmoud Al-Khatib, President of Al-Ahly, was present in the last training session before traveling to motivate the players to overcome the difficult confrontation and warn against any violations against the technical staff.
Meanwhile, the trio, Imam Ashour, Ashraf Dari, and Wissam Abu Ali, returned to Al-Ahly’s roster to face Orlando Pirates, which strengthens the Red Team’s ranks.
Details of Al-Khatib’s communication with Trezeguet
Mahmoud Al-Khatib, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al-Ahly Club, received initial approval from Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet to join Al-Ahly in the upcoming summer transfers on loan to compete in the Club World Cup in the United States of America.
Trezeguet welcomed the step of wearing the Al-Ahly shirt in the global forum after a long period of professionalism in recent years.
Al-Ahly Club wants to strengthen its roster in order to appear strongly in the Club World Cup, and Trezeguet is considered one of the most important deals that Al-Khatib wants, according to what a source in the football team revealed.
Al-Ahly club received a strong blow to its ranks, after the team’s star was injured before moving to face Orlando Pirates on December 7.
Journalist Ahmed Schubert said in radio statements on On Sport FM, “Mustafa Schubert will miss the next match due to injury.”
He explained, “Mohamed El-Shenawy will participate mainly after the absence of Mustafa Schubert was confirmed during the next confrontation.”
There is a tendency on the part of technical director Marcel Kohler to rely on the services of Imam Ashour in the team’s roster, at the expense of Mohamed Magdy Afsha.
Marcel Kohler will cling to the services of Imam Ashour during Al-Ahly’s next match against Orlando, with Afsha returning to the bench, which may open the door to a new crisis with Marcel Kohler.
