Al Ahly FC have received positive indications ahead of their upcoming match against Al-Fayha FC on Tuesday, as part of the Saudi Pro League, with their Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy nearing full fitness and returning to team training.
Edouard Mendy has made significant strides in his recovery from a shoulder injury that kept him out of action over the past few weeks, and he has entered the final stage of his treatment and rehabilitation program in preparation for resuming his participation with the team.
The medical staff is awaiting the final assessment of the goalkeeper's physical condition before deciding on his potential inclusion as a starter against Al-Fayha FC, after he suffered an injury during one of the training sessions leading up to the match against Al-Fateh in the eighth round.
The injury of Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has raised concerns within the club regarding his absence and its impact on the stability of the defensive line. His potential return represents an important boost for Al Ahly FC ahead of the upcoming challenge.
In another context, it has been decided to amend the dates of three matches in the Saudi Pro League for organizational and logistical reasons; Al Riyadh will face Al-Hilal, and Al-Ittihad will meet Al-Shabab on December 19, 2026, while the clásico between Al Ahly FC and Al-Nassr has been postponed to March 6, 2027.
Al Ahly FC are in sixth place with 15 points, six points behind leaders Al-Hilal after eight rounds.
