It appears that Sayed Moawadh, the left back of Cairo National, who missed the first leg of the African Champions League final due to an ankle injury, might also be absent from the return leg. After traveling to Qatar for examinations and returning to Egypt for rehabilitation, Moawadh suffered a relapse of the same injury during training.
This setback raises concerns about his availability for the upcoming match at the Radès Olympic Stadium on November 17. Moawadh’s absence could be a blow to Al Ahly’s efforts to overturn their first-leg draw against Esperance de Tunis.
In an effort to enhance their performance, Al Ahly has reportedly enlisted the help of the national team’s goalkeeper coach to support Cherif Ikrami, who faced criticism for his role in Esperance’s goal during the first leg. The return leg of the African Champions League final promises to be a challenging encounter for both teams, with Al Ahly aiming to dethrone the Tunisian champions.
