Al Ahly cool down injury fears over Moroccan star Achraf Bencharki

Al Ahly SC have received a major boost following concerns over an injury to Moroccan star Achraf Bencharki during their recent league encounter with Smouha SC.

Bencharki was forced to undergo medical checks after sustaining a knock in the tightly contested fixture, which saw Al Ahly secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory at the iconic Cairo International Stadium in the second round of the Egyptian Premier League’s playoff stage.

Providing an update, team doctor Ahmed Gaballah moved quickly to allay fears, confirming that initial examinations showed the injury to be minor. According to Gaballah, the Moroccan international required only limited medical attention and is currently in stable condition.

The reassuring diagnosis comes as a welcome development for Al Ahly, who rely heavily on Bencharki’s attacking quality and experience, particularly in decisive stages of the season.

Gaballah further explained that the player is undergoing a structured treatment and recovery program, with no major complications detected. The club’s medical staff are optimistic that the winger will respond well to treatment and return to action sooner rather than later.

Encouragingly for the Red Devils, early indications suggest that Bencharki could resume group training in the near future, potentially making him available for upcoming crucial fixtures as the title race intensifies.

Al Ahly’s narrow victory over Smouha not only strengthened their position in the playoff standings but also highlighted their resilience. With positive news emerging on Bencharki’s condition, the club can now shift focus back to their ambitions with renewed confidence.

For fans and teammates alike, the update brings a sense of relief — the setback appears minor, and one of Al Ahly’s key attacking weapons is expected to be back on the pitch in the near future.
