Emam Ashour’s future with Al Ahly to be decided within 48 hours

Al Ahly is facing a pivotal moment as the club announced that a decision will be made within the next 48 hours regarding the return of midfielder Emam Ashour.

The young star has been sidelined after contracting a viral illness that required strict medical isolation both in the hospital and at home. Team doctor Ahmed Gaballah revealed Ashour’s latest medical tests show notable improvement, but another comprehensive test is scheduled to confirm his recovery before starting any physical rehabilitation.

Al Ahly’s medical staff remains cautious, prioritizing the player’s full health before allowing him to resume collective training. Meanwhile, the team resumed group practice on Monday, gearing up for their next league match against Petrojet. The session saw key players like Mohamed El-Shenawy, Karim Fouad, and Ahmed Mostafa Zizo return to full training after overcoming various injuries.

The club also provided updates on long-term absentees, with defender Achraf Dari and forward Mohamed Sherif both progressing in their recovery programs. Al Ahly continues preparations for the upcoming Egyptian Super Cup, set to take place in the UAE next month, while contesting recent controversial refereeing decisions in CAF competitions.
