Al Ahly head coach Jess Torup is set to make three notable changes to his starting lineup ahead of their clash with Smouha in the Egyptian Premier League.
The match, scheduled for Saturday evening at Cairo International Stadium, marks the second round of the final stage, with Torup looking to fine-tune his squad.
Three Key Changes Incoming
Torup is expected to bolster his attacking options by introducing Mohamed Ali Ben Ramadan into midfield, replacing Aliou Dieng. The move is aimed at adding more creativity and forward drive.
Another major switch sees Achraf Bencharki handed a starting role ahead of Ahmed Mostafa Zizo, signaling a more attacking intent from the outset.
In defense, Hadi Riad is set to partner Yasser Ibrahim at center-back, replacing Yassin Marei.
Selection Headaches for Al Ahly
Al Ahly will also have to cope with key absences. Karim Fouad is sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, while first-choice goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy begins a four-match suspension.
These setbacks have forced Torup to rethink his setup as the team pushes for a strong finish in the league.
Match Details
The encounter kicks off at 8 PM Cairo time and will be broadcast on ON Sport 1.
With tactical adjustments and squad rotation in play, all eyes will be on how Al Ahly respond as they aim to maintain momentum in the title race.
