Al Ahly officials are discussing the possibility of reducing the team's roster during the upcoming winter transfer window, as the squad currently has 34 registered players.
This discussion comes in light of coach Hussein Amouta's desire to work with a specific group of players, allowing for increased focus during training and matches, especially given the difficulty in providing equal opportunities for all squad members to participate.
Amouta calls for focus on a selected group of players amid a 34-player roster
The coaching staff believes that the large number of players on the roster could pose a challenge in managing playing time and participation, leading to discussions about the possibility of reducing the number in January, either through loans or decisions regarding the future of certain players based on the team's needs.
A comprehensive evaluation of all team members is expected in the coming period to identify the players Amouta relies on primarily and those who need more opportunities to participate before final decisions are made about the roster in January.
Through this evaluation, Al Ahly aims to achieve a more balanced roster that allows the coaching staff to work with maximum focus and provides both starting and substitute players clearer opportunities to participate and compete for positions.
