Another blow for Al Ahly before Zamalek clash

Al Ahly FC have suffered another setback in their preparations for the upcoming clash against Zamalek SC, with the medical staff announcing the injury of Moroccan Achraf Bencharki ahead of the highly anticipated encounter between the rivals in the 6th round of the Egyptian League.

Al Ahly FC will face Zamalek SC on Sunday, October 11, at Cairo International Stadium, in the first match for both teams following the current international break, which lasts for 24 days, from September 17 to October 11.

Both teams have 13 points each, but Zamalek is in second place in the Egyptian League standings on goal difference from Al Ahly in third place, while Pyramids FC leads the table with 15 points after achieving a perfect record.

Dr. Ahmed Gaballah, the head of the medical staff for the first team at Al Ahly FC, has revealed that Ben Cherki is suffering from pain caused by inflammation in his Achilles tendon, which has led the coaching staff to temporarily exclude him from group training.

Gab Allah explained in statements to the club's official website that the player will undergo treatment sessions in the coming period, with the aim of preparing him to return to group training as soon as possible.

The injury list for Al Ahly FC does not stop at Ben Cherki, as the medical staff announced that Karim El Debes has suffered a second-degree strain in his right adductor. The player will undergo a program of physical therapy and rehabilitation in preparation for his return to the pitch.

Al Ahly FC are monitoring the conditions of Ben Cherki and Karim El Debes during the break, with the big match against Zamalek SC approaching. This match represents the first test for both teams after the resumption of the Egyptian League.
