Questions have increased among Al Ahly fans in recent days about who will be the starting goalkeeper for the Red Devils in the upcoming match against Zamalek, scheduled for October 11, especially with the impressive performances of both goalkeepers lately.
A source within the club revealed to Youm7 that Mostafa Shobair is the frontrunner to take over as Al Ahly's goalkeeper for this clash, due to his outstanding form with the team recently, as well as his excellent displays with the Egyptian national team in the matches against Angola and South Sudan, part of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027.
On the other hand, Mohamed El Shenawy has also excelled in recent matches for Al Ahly in the Egyptian Premier League, leveraging his extensive experience in handling difficult situations, which may put the coaching staff of the Egyptian national team in a dilemma when choosing the most suitable goalkeeper for this important match of the season.
