Ebimobowei Ruled Out Of Tetuoan Clash

Al-Ahly of Egypt quest to overturn a 1-0 deficit suffered in the hands of Morrocan Side Moghreb Tetuoan in the Caf Champions league this weekend has been dealt a severe blow with news that their Nigerian forward Peter Ebimobowei will miss the clash due to injury.

Ebimobowei only recently returned from a one month injury layoff and scored the winner for Al Ahly five days ago in a  2-1 win over Alaab Damanhour in the Egyptian league.

The January acquisition from Bayelsa United in Nigeria has had an injury interrupted time at the club but despite that he has scored three goals for the team but this latest setback will probably keep him out for at least two weeks.

The Egyptian and Africa super giants will also be without the services of defender Hussein El-Sayed in Saturday's home clash against Moghreb Tetouan who lead from the first leg thanks to a freekick by Mouhcine Iajour and anything short of a victory will further heap pressure on manager Juan Garrido.

No tolerance is expected for the under-fire Spanish coach if the Egyptian giants fail in their bid for their ninth Champions League title, despite the board's current backing.

Garrido is already under heavy criticism as the winner of eight successive Egyptian Premier League is likely to lose the current championship, being third in the table, 11 points behind arch-rivals Zamalek who are in the driving seat.
