Al Ahly, after being eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup, faced Monterrey in a match for the 5th place. Mohamed Youssef, the coach, emphasized the importance of winning the match for the team’s honor. However, he faced uncertainty as Mohamed Aboutrika, a key player, was announced injured with a torn anterior ligament of a thigh muscle. The injury would keep Aboutrika unavailable for six weeks, making his participation in the Monterrey match uncertain. Aboutrika had previously announced that the Club World Cup would be his last competition, and he would retire afterward.
CLUB WORLD CUP: AL AHLY FOR THE HONOR BUT WITHOUT ABOUTRIKA! IS IT RETIREMENT?
