Al Ahly’s medical staff denied the rumors which claimed that Akram Tawfik, Al Ahly’s midfielder, suffers from an injury ahead of Esperance’s game.

Our medical staff confirmed that Tawfik is in good physical condition and that he has been training with the team ever since their arrival in Tunisia.

Tawfik suffered a leg bruise before the team’s trip to Tunisia,  but then he underwent a medical check-up on Wednesday, which confirmed that he is fit to participate against Tunisia’s Esperance.

The Red Eagles will face Esperance on Saturday at 6:00 PM at Hammadi Agrebi Olympic Stadium in Rades in the first leg of the CAF Champions League semi-finals.
