Wael Gomaa makes request to Ibrahim Hassan regarding Al Ahly players

Ahmed Hassan has revealed that friendly communications took place in recent hours between Wael Gomaa, former star of Al Ahly FC, and Ibrahim Hassan, manager of the Egypt national football team. These moves come as part of the ongoing coordination between clubs and the national team to protect players from the pressure of consecutive matches.

Hassan clarified on his official Facebook account that Gomaa has amicably requested the national team manager to rest Al Ahly FC players during the upcoming friendly match against South Africa. Both parties are seeking to reach an understanding that serves the interests of the Pharaohs and the Red Giant alike.

This desire from the Red Castle comes with the aim of ensuring the safety of international players and protecting them from physical fatigue. The coaching staff at Al Ahly FC relies heavily on the readiness of its key players to avoid muscle injuries resulting from the congestion of seasons and local and continental competitions.

This request comes at a very sensitive time, as Al Ahly FC is preparing to face their traditional rivals Zamalek SC in the anticipated summit match scheduled for Sunday, October 11, in the sixth round of the Egyptian League.
