CAFCL: Al Ahly’s Junior Ajayi to Miss Esperance-KCCA Clash Due to Injury
Nigerian forward, Junior Ajayi, has been ruled out of Al Ahly’s upcoming CAF Champions League match against KCCA FC of Uganda on Tuesday, following a muscle injury, as reported by Completesportsnigeria.com. Ajayi was absent from Al Ahly’s recent 0-0 draw against Esperance due to the injury he sustained during the Egyptian FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Assiouty Sport last Monday. Although there were hopes that the former CS Sfaxien striker would recover in time for the Uganda trip, he has been declared unfit for the game.
According to Egyptian website Kingfut.com, Ajayi’s absence is a setback for Al Ahly, as he has been an integral part of the team’s success this season. With 32 appearances across all competitions, he has contributed nine goals and 11 assists to the Red Devils’ impressive campaign.
Al Ahly, the most successful club in the history of the CAF Champions League with eight titles, has set their sights on adding another trophy to their illustrious cabinet this season. Having emerged as losing finalists last year, the Red Devils are determined to reclaim the title they last won in 2013.
The absence of Ajayi will undoubtedly be felt by Al Ahly, as they seek to secure a victory against KCCA FC. However, the team will rely on their collective strength and depth to overcome this hurdle and continue their pursuit of continental glory.
The match against KCCA FC will be a crucial test for Al Ahly, as they aim to maintain their position as one of the frontrunners in Group A of the CAF Champions League. With strong competition from other top clubs, every point matters, and the Red Devils will be eager to secure a win on foreign soil.
As Ajayi continues his recovery, Al Ahly fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to action. The talented forward’s presence on the pitch has been instrumental in the team’s success, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt. However, with a squad brimming with talent and determination, Al Ahly remains a formidable force in African football.
