The main Al Ahly players who participated in the match against Ghazl El Mahalla on Monday evening in the fourth round of the Egyptian Premier League underwent recovery training on Tuesday morning to prevent fatigue, while the substitutes and excluded players had a strong training session preparing for the upcoming match against Pyramids.

Al Ahly drew 0-0 with Ghazl El Mahalla on Monday in the fourth round of the league and is preparing to face Pyramids at 9 PM next Saturday at Al Salam Stadium as part of the fifth round of the Egyptian Premier League.

Spanish coach Jose Ribeiro is closely watching Pyramids’ matches since the start of the league until their recent game against Modern Sport to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the sky-blue team in search of an important victory in the next league round.
