Al Ahly Welcomes Back Mendy as Goalkeeper Nears Return Against Al Anwar

Al Ahly has welcomed back Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who has fully recovered from the injury that kept him sidelined after returning from the 2026 World Cup.

Mendy has successfully completed his rehabilitation program, passing physical and fitness tests, and is back in team training, confirming his full readiness to participate in matches.

The Senegalese goalkeeper missed the match against Al Ahly and Al Daraiyah in the first round of the Roshen League, despite participating in training before the game.

The coaching staff has opted not to play Mendy against Al-Dhariyah to avoid potential complications. They decided to give him additional time to regain full physical fitness.

The coaching staff has received a medical report confirming the goalkeeper's full recovery, with the ability to play a full match lasting up to 90 minutes.

Mendy is set to enter the Al Ahly squad for the match against Al Anwar, scheduled for next Monday, as part of the Round of 32 in the King Salman Cup.

The decision to start the Senegalese goalkeeper against Al-Anwar rests with coach Marino Pusic, as the player is fit and has returned to training normally.

Al Ahly is looking for another victory against Al Anwar, having kicked off their Roshan League campaign with a 1-0 win over Al Dar'iya, hoping to continue their positive momentum.
