Egyptian giants Pyramids FC will be forced to navigate their CAF Champions League matchday one fixture without crucial trio Ramadan Sobhi, Osama Galal, and Mostafa Fathi.
The trio has been ruled out of Saturday’s encounter at Cairo’s 30 June Stadium due to injuries, leaving head coach Krunoslav Jurčić to rely on other key performers. Pyramids can count on goalkeeper Ahmed El-Shenawy, midfielder Walid El Karti, and striker Fiston Mayele as they aim to secure maximum points in the group stage opener.
Rivers United, making their debut appearance in the lucrative CAF Champions League group stage, will be looking to start their campaign on a high note against the experienced Egyptian side. Meanwhile, the group’s other fixture will see Morocco’s RS Berkane take on compatriots Power Dynamos.
This clash promises to be a competitive showdown as Pyramids seek to assert dominance despite their injury setbacks, while Rivers United aim to make a memorable impression in their maiden group stage appearance.
