Imam Ashour, the midfielder for Al Ahly's first football team, is close to returning to the starting lineup for the upcoming match against Abu Qir Fertilizers, which is part of the fifth round of the Egyptian Premier League.
The likelihood of Imam Ashour starting has increased after his impressive performance in Al Ahly's last match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab, where he showcased a great level during the minutes he played, enhancing his chances of securing a spot in the starting lineup against Abu Qir Fertilizers.
Imam Ashour's Chances with Al Ahly Increase
Coach Hussein Amouta aims to take advantage of Imam Ashour's readiness and give him a greater opportunity to participate, especially after the performance the player displayed against Al Mokawloon Al Arab.
The coaching staff will make the final decision regarding the lineup during the last training sessions, based on the physical and technical condition of the players, with Amouta eager to restore victories and achieve a positive result in the fifth round of the league.
Al Ahly Faces Al Ahli Benghazi in a Friendly Match
The first football team of Al Ahly will play a friendly match against Al Ahli Benghazi today, Thursday, as the Libyan team's training camp in Egypt comes to an end. This is part of the coaching staff's plan, led by Hussein Amouta, to prepare the substitutes ahead of the match against Abu Qir Fertilizers.
The coaching staff of Al Ahly aims to provide players who did not participate significantly in the match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab with a physical load similar to that of the starting players, to maintain their physical and technical readiness.
Amouta's Strategy for Preparing Substitutes at Al Ahly
This match is part of the coaching staff's strategy, which relies on conducting a friendly match after every official match, aiming to keep all team members ready and give substitutes the opportunity to participate and receive appropriate physical training.
Al Ahly had played its last match against Al Mokawloon Al Arab before the coaching staff decided to face Al Ahli Benghazi in a friendly to benefit from the players who did not participate or played only a few minutes in the official match.
Al Ahli Benghazi concludes its training camp in Cairo by facing Al Ahly, as part of its preparations for the new season, while Al Ahly utilizes this match to prepare its players for upcoming matches.
