Four of Al Ahli's top professionals have been confirmed to be absent before the match against Shabab Al Ahli in the eighth round of the group stage of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

The Enma Stadium will host the anticipated match, amidst Al-Ahli's aspirations to continue achieving positive results in the continental championship.

The German coach Matthias Jaissle decided to exclude the quartet of Edouard Mendy, Merih Demiral, Roger Ibañez, and Franck Kessié from the squad.

The decision comes as part of a specific technical vision for the match, without revealing additional details about the reasons for the absence.

Despite these absences, Al Ahly aims to secure a victory and strengthen its position in the league standings, continuing to compete for the title.

The team achieved a significant victory in its last appearance in the Saudi Roshan League, defeating Al-Shabab with a score of five goals to two.
