Al Ahly resumed training at the club’s El-Gezira headquarters on Monday, with goalkeeper and captain Mohamed El Shenawy taking part after missing the last match against Aigle Noir due to fatigue and a bout of flu.
Al Ahly head coach Jess Thorup praised his side’s performance and thanked the club’s supporters following their 2-1 victory over Ittihad Alexandria on Wednesday, a result that sent the reigning champions to the top of the Egyptian Premier League.
