Al Ahly confirmed that Imam Ashour, a first-team football player, is training regularly and is not injured, and that his absence from matches is for technical reasons.

The club issued the clarification after leaving Ashour out of the squad for Monday evening’s match against Arab Contractors, scheduled as part of the second round of the group stage in the Egypt Capital Cup. This will be the third consecutive match for which he has been left out of the team’s squad.

The player had previously missed the matches against Uganda’s Kitara in the CAF Confederation Cup and Modern Sport in the league, after falling out of the plans of the technical staff led by Hussein Ammouta.
