Al Ahly will head into their preseason camp in Tabarka, Tunisia without key midfielder Marawan Attia, who has been granted a 10-day rest and will not take part in the sessions scheduled from next Friday until July 29.
This update adds to the growing interest around the squad’s readiness as the Egyptian giants gear up for the new season under Spanish head coach Jose Riveiro.
Wessam Abu Ali’s situation remains uncertain, with the striker reportedly pushing for a move to American side Columbus Crew. The club has yet to make a final decision on whether he’ll be part of the squad in Tunisia.
However, there is good news for the team as defender Yasser Ibrahim has been declared fit and will join the camp as planned.
Taher Mohamed Taher is still undergoing recovery and needs a few more days before Riveiro can determine his involvement.
According to sources quoted by Kooora, the rest of the squad is fully ready and will travel to Tunisia for the crucial preseason preparations.
