CAF Champions League: No injury worries for Medeama ahead of Al Ahly clash

Published on: 19 February 2024

Ghanaian champions Medeama have no major injury worries ahead of their crucial CAF Champions League encounter against Al Ahly on Friday.

The Yellow and Mauves will play host to the African giants at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

The two-time FA Cup winners suffered a 3-0 defeat in the first leg in Cairo last year. Medeama showcased a brilliant first half performance, holding Al Ahly to a goalless draw but ultimately fell short in the second half.

The Tarkwa-based club will head into the crucial game with a healthy squad as there are no injury problems in camp.

Defender Nurudeen Abdulai, who missed a couple of games due to injury setbacks has returned to full training and will be available for selection.

His return comes as a huge boost for the Yellow and Mauves as they seek to upset the Egyptian giants this Friday.

The highly-rated defender is expected to solidify the defense of Medeama as they aim to beat Al Ahly in their fifth group game of the CAF’s elite competition.

Having gained full fitness, the Yellow and Mauves will hope to frustrate the attacking prowess of the Egyptian outfit.

The CAF Champions League was on a break due to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast but returns this weekend for the penultimate games at the group stage.

Medeama are bottom in Group D with 4 points and must play above themselves to progress to the next stage of the competition.
