In the absence of local tournaments, except for the Egyptian League Cup, from which the club had previously withdrawn, Al Ahly continued its daily training sessions.
The team engaged in a physical segment at the beginning of the session, followed by the coaching staff focusing on ball exercises.
Meanwhile, the goalkeepers underwent individual drills under the supervision of Michel Yankon, the goalkeeping coach.
Ahmed Abdelkader, Mohamed El-Dawwi “Kresto,” and Ahmed Nabil “Koka” continued their rehabilitation programs on the sidelines of the training, following their specific plans.
Al Ahly resumed training last Thursday at El Tetsh Stadium after the rest period granted by the coaching staff post the conclusion of the Egyptian Super Cup held in the United Arab Emirates.
Taking advantage of Al Ahly’s non-participation in any official tournaments to provide rest to the players due to Egypt’s national team preparations for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, the coaching staff strategically scheduled the training.
Al Ahly recently clinched the Egyptian Super Cup title in the UAE and secured the bronze medal in the FIFA Club World Cup held in Saudi Arabia.
With the team currently absent from official competitions, the coaching staff aims to optimize this period for physical and tactical preparations, ensuring the players are in peak condition when they return to competitive action.
The focus on individual rehabilitation highlights the meticulous approach adopted by Al Ahly’s coaching staff to address specific player needs and maintain the squad’s overall fitness.
As the team eyes future challenges, the blend of physical training and strategic exercises during these sessions positions Al Ahly for success in upcoming competitions.
