Hashim Rida clarifies the truth about Mohanad Ali's participation

Hashim Rida, a member of Al-Shorta's management, revealed the latest developments regarding striker Mohanad Ali, who has been on the bench without actual participation in recent matches.

Reza Mimi is currently injured and is on the bench, with the coach gradually introducing him to protect him. Mimi is an influential player; sometimes when he comes on, he provides motivation and drive, even against the opponent.

Mohanad Ali went with the team to India for the match against East Bengal. He could have participated in the last ten minutes to prepare for the matches against Al Karkh and Al Zawraa, but the red card that occurred against the club complicated matters. I believe the coach was afraid to take a risk with him in those circumstances.

A member of the management confirmed that the coaching staff, led by Hussein Abdulwahid, is handling the Mimi file with great intelligence and caution.

We know the value of Mimy's technical and moral contributions to the team; he is not just a striker but the spirit of the team. Even when he is on the bench, he provides a significant morale boost to his teammates. Therefore, we do not want to lose him again to a new injury that could keep him out for a longer period.

He will gradually participate in upcoming matches as we prepare him fully for the derby against Al Zawraa and other important league matches. We want him to return as the Mimy we know, a top scorer and decisive player.
