Ekramy & Ashour could miss Monterrey’s game
Ahly�s doctor Ihab Ali revealed on Thursday that the Red Devils� goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy and defense midfielder Hossam Ashour could miss the game against Monterrey in the third-place play-off of the Club World Cup�s on Sunday.
Ekramy sustained a hamstring strain during Ahly�s 1-0 loss to Corinthians in the Club World Cup semis, and he was replaced by Mahmoud Abul-Seoud, while Ashour suffers from a pelvis injury. Ashour�s absence could be a problem for coach Hossam El-Badry who has already lost defensive midfielder Hossam Ghaly because of a serious knee injury.
“Ekramy�s chances of playing against Monterrey are 50 percent while Ashour has more chances than Ekramy as his injury is not serious,” Ahly�s doctor told the club�s official website on Thursday. “The final decision will be made after Saturday�s training”
