Hossin Ammouta requests an evaluation of six Al Ahly players during the international break.

Hossam Ammouta, the head coach of Al Ahly, has requested the performance analysts in the technical staff to prepare a comprehensive report on the club's international players during the current international break. He aims to monitor their participation with their national teams and assess their physical and technical levels. Five players from Al Ahly are with the Egypt national team: Mostafa Shobeir, Mohamed Hani, Imam Ashour, Ahmed Sayed Zizo, and Marwan Attia, while Algerian player Mounsef Beqar is with the Algeria national team during this period.

Monitoring Al Ahly's International Players

Ammouta seeks accurate information regarding the minutes each player spends on the pitch, their roles during matches, as well as their physical effort levels and condition after their international commitments. This will help in preparing a suitable program for them upon their return to Al Ahly. The coach's request comes as part of his commitment to utilize the break to evaluate the team's elements, especially since the international players are undergoing training and matches with their national teams that differ in nature from the tactical work at Al Ahly. This makes the performance analysts' reports a vital component in preparing for the upcoming phase.

Hossam Ammouta's Urgent Requests at Al Ahly

On another note, Moroccan Hossam Ammouta has emphasized to the Al Ahly management the necessity of strengthening the defense with two strong signings during the upcoming winter transfer window in January, due to the challenging circumstances facing the team's backline because of recurring injuries.

Ammouta discussed with the Al Ahly management in recent hours the challenges facing the team's defense, notably the injury of Amr El-Gazzar with a torn ACL, in addition to Yasser Ibrahim's ankle sprain, as well as the absence of Moroccan Youssef Belaïli, the team's left-back, following his ACL injury during the pre-season preparations.

The head coach of Al Ahly expressed his full confidence in the existing defenders and their technical abilities, stressing his reliance on them. However, the recent difficult circumstances and injuries affecting the backline necessitate strengthening the team with new elements.

Ammouta emphasized the need to sign distinguished defenders during the winter transfer window, urging the management to start preparing for these reinforcements early, especially with several strong candidates that could add value to the team in the upcoming phase.
