Ghanaian champions Medeama ready for crucial CAF Champions League clash with Al Ahly
The Ghanaian champions Medeama are gearing up for a crucial CAF Champions League encounter against African giants Al Ahly, with the team reporting no major injury concerns ahead of the matchup.
The Yellow and Mauves will have the home advantage as they face off against Al Ahly at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi. The Tarkwa-based club will look to avenge their 3-0 defeat in the first leg in Cairo last year, where they put on a strong first-half performance but ultimately fell short in the second half.
With no injury problems in camp, Medeama is set to head into the crucial game with a full squad. Defender Nurudeen Abdulai, who missed some games due to injury setbacks, has returned to full training and will be available for selection, providing a significant boost for the team.
The highly-rated defender is expected to strengthen Medeama’s defense as they aim to secure a victory against Al Ahly in their fifth group game of the CAF Champions League. Now that Abdulai has regained full fitness, the team will be looking 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. Currently, Medeama is at the bottom of Group D with 4 points and needs to deliver an outstanding performance to progress to the next stage of the competition.
As Medeama prepares to face Al Ahly, they will be striving to put on a strong performance and secure a crucial victory in their quest to advance in the CAF Champions League.
