Ahmed Hassan, the former Zamalek star, revealed that Jose Ribeiro, the coach of Al Ahly, wants Imam Ashour to be present in the team's camp despite the player's unfitness.

Hassan stated on his Facebook page that a source within Al Ahly club informed him that coach Jose Ribeiro requested to include player Imam Ashour in the team's external camp, even though he is not medically fit yet.

The player had sustained an injury during his participation in the match between Al Ahly and Inter Miami, which ended in a 0-0 draw in the first round of the group stage of the Club World Cup.

It is worth noting that Al Ahly exited the tournament from the group stage after earning two points, drawing against Inter Miami 0-0 in the first round, losing to Palmeiras 2-0 in the second round, and then drawing against Porto 4-4 in the third and final round.
