Mohsen Saleh, a member of the current Football Association's technical committee, stated that Al Ahly's treatment of Ahmed Abdelkader, the team's star player, is humiliating.

Saleh said during the "Captain" program on "DMC" channel: "Ahmed Abdelkader has many different ambitions and has been a professional since he was young. He is not fully mature in his behavior; we all remember his scene with Koller when he left angrily."

He added: "Al Ahly's treatment of Ahmed Abdelkader is humiliating; making him train in the gym is better than keeping him at home. I mean, is training going to maintain his fitness, or is this a punishment?"

He continued: "In my opinion, Al Ahly should have sat down with the player to see what he wants, even if he was going to Zamalek. If a player is going to cause problems, then getting rid of him is better."
