Al-Ahly fans are eagerly awaiting the status of their defender, Merih Demiral, ahead of the anticipated clash against Johor in the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League for the elite.

Special sources revealed that the player will undergo thorough medical examinations in the next few hours to determine his readiness to participate in the match.

Reports have clarified that the result of the scan will be the decisive factor in making the final decision, whether he will participate or be absent from the important match.

Demiral is suffering from an injury he recently sustained, which has kept him from participating with the team in recent times.

The player's injury dates back to the match against Al-Khaleej, where he sustained a severe blow that affected his readiness and sidelined him from competitions.

The absence of the Turkish defender represents a significant technical loss for the team, given his important role in the backline during crucial matches.

The fans are eagerly awaiting the decision of the medical team, hoping for the player's timely return to support the team in this continental challenge.
