Galeano and Demiral Discuss Al-Ahly’s Strategy for Al-Wehda Match
The Al-Ahly technical team, directed by Matthias Jaissle, has confirmed the absence of Galeno and Merih Demiral for their upcoming match against Al-Wehda UAE. This fixture is part of the seventh round of the Asian Champions League. The match is scheduled for tomorrow.
Reasons for Player Exclusions
Galeno is sidelined due to a minor injury, which hindered his participation in crucial training sessions. Meanwhile, Demiral is still undergoing rehabilitation and has not fully recovered. As a result, both players will miss the team’s travel to Abu Dhabi for this important clash.
Strategic Adjustments
Jaissle’s decision reflects a strategic approach to manage player absences effectively. To mitigate the loss, Al-Ahly has enlisted Ricardo Matias, a recently signed striker from the reserve squad during the winter transfer window. He will join the team in Abu Dhabi to fill the gap left by the injured athletes.
Standing in the AFC Champions League
Despite these setbacks, Al-Ahly will compete against Al-Wehda, having already qualified for the next round. The team currently occupies third place in the Western group standings, boasting 13 points from four wins, one draw, and one loss.
Preparation for the Match
As Al-Ahly gears up for this encounter, they are keen to strengthen their position before transitioning to the knockout stages. The focus remains on ensuring that the available players are both physically and tactically prepared to secure a victory, despite significant roster changes.
