Several players from Al Ahly’s first football team have lodged a collective complaint against Andres Andoya, the team’s fitness planner under Marcel Koller’s coaching staff, due to muscle injuries.
A source within Al Ahly revealed that some players are expressing frustration over the continuous muscle injuries they are facing, attributing them to the extensive physical loads imposed by Andoya during training sessions.
The source clarified that the players addressed their complaints to Ahmed Gaballah, the head of the medical staff, citing the high incidence of injuries.
The Ahly doctor attributed multiple injuries to the excessive physical strain during recent training periods.
