CAF Champions League: Al Ahly captain Mohamed El-Shenawy likely to miss AS FAR clash

Al Ahly face a worrying setback ahead of their CAF Champions League clash with FAR Rabat, as captain Mohamed El-Shenawy is in danger of missing the trip through injury.

The experienced goalkeeper suffered an adductor strain during the team’s 4–1 win over JS Kabylie, limping off in the 79th minute.

His substitution sparked immediate concern on the touchline, and early medical checks now indicate he could be sidelined for the upcoming fixture.

At 36, El-Shenawy remains a central figure for the African champions, valued for his calm presence and command of the defence.

His absence would represent a major blow for Al Ahly at a time when stability at the back is crucial.

The club has yet to confirm the full extent of the injury or offer a recovery timeline, leaving the medical team in a race against the clock to get their captain fit.

With a key Champions League test fast approaching, Al Ahly may have to prepare for the possibility of playing without their most trusted guardian between the posts.

Kick-off is set for 19:00 GMT.
