Marcel Koller, the head coach of Al Ahly, has turned down any rest for his players following their return to Cairo after facing Ghanaian side Medeama, citing the tight schedule before their upcoming match against Beladiya Al Mahalla in the Premier League next Tuesday.
Gallardo has decided to resume Al Ahly’s training session tomorrow, Sunday, directly despite the fatigue that several players are experiencing.
It is expected that Koller will conduct light training for the core players who participated in the last match.
The coach aims to swiftly shift focus away from the Medeama match and concentrate early on the upcoming Premier League fixture against Beladiya Al Mahalla.
In this crucial league encounter, Al Ahly is eager to secure a victory and claim all three points.
In their recent game, Al Ahly emerged victorious against Ghanaian side Medeama with a solitary goal scored by Hussein El Shahat in the second half.
This win propelled Al Ahly to nine points, bringing them closer to official qualification to the next round of the tournament.
The match against Beladiya Al Mahalla is scheduled for next Tuesday at 7 PM local time at the Cairo International Stadium.
Al Ahly has played only six matches in the league so far due to their numerous international commitments.
Meanwhile, Beladiya Al Mahalla currently sits twelfth in the league table with 13 points from 13 matches played.
