CAIRO: Ittihad assistant coach Mohamed Nour blamed his team s 1-0 defeat at Ahly on the absence of Mohamed Nagi Gedo through automatic suspension. Gedo s absence negatively affected our frontline and was one of the main reasons why we lost the game, he told the post-match press conference. He s an integral part of our attacking strategy and we missed him against Ahly. Gedo, 25, made his name during this year s Nations Cup after he scooped the competition s top scorer award. He s understood to be targeted by several European clubs, including Olympique Lyon.
