Ahli striker Emad Meteb is set to fly to Germany to perform a check-up on his recent back problem, the club said. The Reds' top scorer sustained a back injury in last weekend's draw with Zamalek, which saw him score twice for the league leaders. Meteb was accordingly ruled out of Friday's Champions League match at Ittihad of Tripoli and will spend the rest of the week in Germany.
Ali Meanwhile, full-back Ahmed Ali missed the squad's trip to Libya due to a hamstring strain. Ali, 21, has come under a lot of criticism recently, with pundits questioning his capability of filling the right-back position for the Egyptian champions. Ahli boss Hossam Al-Badri admitted last week that he is only playing the ex-Mansoura defender because he has 'no other options'.
