Al Alhy Name Travelling Squad For Wydad Clash

Al Ahly have named their final 22-man squad that will face Wydad Casablanca in their African Champions League semi-finals set to be played in Morocco.

The Egyptian giants are leaving on Tuesday aboard a private jet for Rabat where they will take Wydad, as Africa club competitions finally resume after being suspended due to the coronavirus eight months ago.

Head coach Pitso Mosimane will be without the services of dependable defender Ramy Rabia who sustained a muscular injury in one of the recent Egyptian league matches.

Ali Maaloul and Geraldo are part of the squad and they will link up with the rest of the team after their international assignment with national teams.

The first legs of the Champions League semifinal will be held on October 17 and 18 with the second legs being played six days later.

Al Ahly will be determined to reach the final for a chance to clinch their first Champions League title since beating Orlando Pirates back in 2013.

Goalkeepers: Mohamed El-Shennawy, Ali Lotfy, Mostafa Shobier

Defenders: Mahmoud Wahid, Ayman Ashraf, Yasser Ibrahim, Mohamed Hany, Ahmed Fathi, Ali Maaloul
