Mosimane Names Al Ahly Line-up for Abu Qir Clash

Al Ahly manager Pitso Mosimane has named his 21-man line-up for their clash against Abu Qir in the Egypt Cup quarter-finals.

The Red Devils made their way to the quarter-finals at the start of the season but the tournament was delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak back in March along with the congestion of Egyptian Premier League fixtures.

Mosimane got a boost as both Ayman Ashraf and Mohamed El-Shennawy will both be available for the game despite suffering a recent injury during Egypt’s 3-1 win over Togo in the international break.

Ramy Rabia also returned to the squad after a three-month absence due to an injury he sustained in training while Marwan Mohsen and Aliou Badji continue to lead Al Ahly’s front line.

Full Line-up:

Goalkeepers: Mohamed El-Shennawy, Mosafa Shobeir, and Hamza Alaa.

Defenders: Ramy Rabia, Yasser Ibrahim, Ayman Ashraf, Mahmoud Wahid, and Fares Tarek.

Midfielders: Hamdi Fathi, Walid Soliman, Hussein El-Shahat, Aliou Dieng, Geraldo, Arabi Badr, Mohamed Shoukry, Abdelrahman Ashraf, Ahmed Nabil, Ahmed El-Sheikh, and Mohamed Magdy Afsha.

Forwards: Marwan Mohsen and Aliou Badji.

The record champions will host second-pision side Abu Qir in the Egypt Cup’s quarter-finals on Saturday, November 20th. Kick-off takes place at 17:00 CLT.
