🧤 Seif Zaher Defends Mohamed El Shenawy
Sports presenter Seif Zaher discussed Mohamed El Shenawy’s situation after the Al Ahly goalkeeper and Egypt international missed the current Pharaohs camp due to injury.
Zaher rejected suggestions that El Shenawy could have deliberately claimed to be injured or refused to join the national team, pointing instead to his long history with Egypt.
📢 Zaher: El Shenawy Does Not Fake Injuries
Speaking on ON Sport, Seif Zaher said: “Mohamed El Shenawy has never claimed to be injured or said that he does not want to play.”
He added that El Shenawy’s history with Egypt supports his position, saying the goalkeeper is not the type of player who would deliberately create such a situation.
🇪🇬 El Shenawy’s History With Egypt
Zaher stressed that El Shenawy’s history with the Egypt national team should be taken into consideration when assessing his current absence.
The presenter argued that the goalkeeper’s omission from the current camp should be viewed in the context of his reported injury rather than interpreted as a refusal to represent Egypt or an attempt to influence the coaching staff’s decisions.
🔍 El Shenawy Respects the Coaching Staff
Seif Zaher also rejected the idea that El Shenawy would claim an injury simply because he wanted to guarantee a starting position.
He said: “El Shenawy would not tell the coaching staff that he is injured unless he really is injured, and there is no story about him demanding to start. He respects the coaching staff’s decisions.”
⭐ Support for the Al Ahly Captain
Zaher’s comments come amid discussion surrounding the Al Ahly captain’s absence from Egypt’s squad during the current international break.
The presenter stressed that El Shenawy’s situation should be assessed away from speculation, while considering his experience and longstanding role with the national team.
