Al-Ahly had defeated its Spanish counterpart Badalona 3-0 in the friendly match held yesterday evening, Wednesday, at Bosc de Tossa Stadium during the ongoing training camp in Spain until August 20.
"Shoubir" said on his radio show on On Sport Radio: "Yasser Ibrahim felt some heaviness, but it is not an injury; he is just fatigued, and therefore he will miss Friday's friendly match."
Shoubir added: "What I have confirmed, however, is that Yasser Ibrahim will be ready for Al-Ahly's match against Barcelona, God willing."
He concluded: "Al-Ahly will play a friendly match tomorrow, Friday, against a team reportedly stronger than Badalona, ahead of the final clash with Barcelona."
Al-Ahly's next match will be against Europa next Friday in another friendly before facing Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Cup.
