Ahly exclude Wessam Abu Ali from Tunisia camp for disciplinary reasons - Egyptian Football
The decision was made by sporting director Mohamed Youssef in consultation with Portuguese head coach José Ribeiro, ahead of the team's departure to Tunisia on Friday for a camp scheduled from 18 to 26 July.
Youssef said Abu Ali failed to attend scheduled fitness assessments, medical scans, and therapy sessions, and had been absent from training without permission.
'Wissam has an offer from a US club that didn't meet Ahly's terms. Until now, he remains under contract, but he missed training and the club has enforced its internal regulations,' Youssef told Ahly TV.
The 26-year-old joined Ahly from Sweden's IK Sirius in January 2024 and is contracted until 2029. During his time with the Cairo-based side, he won two Egyptian Premier League titles, the CAF Champions League, the Egyptian Super Cup, and the Intercontinental Challenge Cup.
Abu Ali made headlines at the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this year, scoring a hat-trick against Porto in the final group-stage match.
Youssef added that the club is evaluating potential reinforcements in the forward line, but said it was too early to discuss specific options.
'No meetings have been held with Mostafa Mohamed or his representatives,' Youssef said, denying reports linking the Nantes striker to a move back to Egypt.

Brighton forward Evan Ferguson joins Roma on loan - World
Brighton and Ireland forward Evan Ferguson has joined Serie A side Roma on a season-long loan, the clubs announced on Wednesday. Ferguson, 20, burst onto the scene as a teenager, scoring 10 goals for Premier League club Brighton and making his international debut in the 2022/23 season. He scored a hat-trick against Newcastle as an 18-year-old but his career has stalled due to loss of form and injury. In total he has made 80 appearances for Brighton, scoring 17 goals, but has scored just one goal at club level since November 2023. Ferguson spent the second half of the last campaign on loan with West Ham, where he made eight appearances, failing to score a goal. "AS Roma are delighted to announce the signing of Evan Ferguson from Brighton and Hove Albion," said the Serie A club. "Ferguson will join Roma on loan with an option to buy." Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said: "Evan had a challenging period across the past season and a half, and it has been one disrupted by niggling injury issues, which hasn't allowed him a run of games. "He is over those injuries and has come back in great shape. Now he really wants to play regularly. This is an exciting opportunity in a strong league and with the prospect of European football."
