Al Ahly Clarify Imam Ashour Freeze Rumors and His Team Status
Al Ahly's football management have addressed the latest reports surrounding Imam Ashour, the team's midfielder, after rumors emerged that the club had decided to freeze him following concerns related to some of his agent Adam Watany's recent actions. The club confirmed that no official decision has been made to freeze Ashour or remove him from the coaching staff's plans for the upcoming period.
Al Ahly Deny Freezing Imam Ashour
A source within Al Ahly explained that there is indeed some dissatisfaction inside the club regarding certain matters related to Imam Ashour and his agent, but the situation has not resulted in a decision to freeze the player. The source stressed that reports claiming an official decision had been made to freeze or exclude Ashour are not true. The club is also keen to maintain stability within the team and avoid allowing administrative matters to affect the atmosphere inside the squad.
Imam Ashour's Status at Al Ahly
The source explained that Imam Ashour's situation is being handled according to the coaching staff's assessment of his technical and physical condition. Any decision regarding his participation in matches will therefore be based primarily on footballing considerations rather than matters involving his agent.
Administrative Matters Separate from Technical Decisions
Al Ahly are keen to keep administrative and contractual matters separate from the coaching staff's technical decisions. Therefore, any dissatisfaction regarding issues connected to the player's file or his agent does not automatically mean that Ashour will be excluded from upcoming matches.
