Egypt: Al Ahly confirm injuries to Ahmed Reda and Achraf Dari

Al Ahly have confirmed that midfielder Ahmed Reda and Moroccan defender Achraf Dari are both sidelined through injury, with medical evaluations under way to determine their recovery timelines.

In an official update, the Egyptian champions announced that Ahmed Reda suffered discomfort in his knee during a recent training session.

The club’s medical team immediately conducted a series of scans and examinations to identify the extent of the problem.

The results will guide his treatment and help structure a gradual return to full training following the international break.

The statement also revealed that centre-back Achraf Dari has sustained a fresh injury, diagnosed as a torn tendon in his lower abdominal region — a condition commonly referred to as a sports hernia.

Al Ahly confirmed that further medical tests are being arranged to establish a clear recovery plan and determine the best therapeutic approach for the 26-year-old defender.

The examinations and analyses for Ahmed Reda and Achraf Dari were planned and carried out in accordance with each player’s medical needs, the club said. The medical team is closely monitoring both players and will ensure that all stages of care are followed to support their recovery.

The injuries come at a crucial point in Al Ahly’s season, as the team continues to balance domestic and continental commitments.

Both players have been integral to the squad’s depth, with Reda providing stability in midfield and Dari adding experience to the backline since joining the club.

While the extent of the injuries is yet to be fully confirmed, initial indications suggest that the club will proceed cautiously to avoid aggravating either condition.

The medical department is expected to release further updates once the ongoing evaluations are complete.

Ahmed Reda will remain under observation until he can begin light training, while Dari’s recovery will depend on how quickly the torn tendon responds to treatment.

The club emphasised that the health and long-term fitness of both players remain the top priority.

Al Ahly’s fans will be hoping for positive news in the coming days, as both Reda and Dari have been key figures in maintaining the team’s defensive balance and midfield strength.

For now, the club’s focus is on ensuring both players receive the necessary care to return stronger for the challenges ahead.
