The Danish coach of the Al Ahly first football team, Jes Thorup, has settled on a replacement for Marwan Attia in the upcoming match against Smouha in the Egyptian Premier League, following the confirmation of the player's absence due to suspension.

Marwan Attia will miss the match after receiving a yellow card during the team's last game against El Gouna, which is his third this season in the league competition, resulting in a one-match suspension according to the regulations.

According to the "Youm7" website, Torop is inclined to include Ahmed Nabil Kouka in the starting lineup alongside Malian Aliou Dieng in midfield, to compensate for the absence of Marwan Attia and maintain the team's technical balance in the upcoming match.

The match between Al Ahly and Smouha is scheduled to take place at 9:30 PM next Monday as part of the 19th round of the Egyptian Premier League. Al Ahly is currently in second place on the table with 33 points, while Smouha is in sixth place with 26 points.
