Al Ahly may be without key midfielder Imam Ashour for their upcoming CAF Champions League return leg against Young Africans in Tanzania this weekend.
The club’s delegation is set to travel for the fixture, but the technical team has opted to leave Ashour out of the squad. The reasons for his exclusion, whether medical or tactical, have not been disclosed.
Al Ahly arrive in the match buoyed by a 3-1 victory over Wadi Degla at Cairo International Stadium in the sixteenth round of the Egyptian Premier League.
The win keeps them in third place on the league table with 26 points from 13 matches.
Even without Ashour, Al Ahly will be aiming to maintain their strong form as they look to advance in the continental competition.
