A source close to Mohamed El-Shennawy, goalkeeper of Al-Ahly club and the Egyptian national team, revealed that the player is following the crisis of his participation in the Tokyo Olympics with great interest, after he obtained a promise from the Red Castle to allow his participation if CAF agreed to change the deadline for the African Champions League. The source said in exclusive statements to “The Seventh Day”, “Al-Shennawy wants to participate with the Olympic team to achieve a new achievement for his history with the round witch, but the goalkeeper did not enter into any crises with his club in this regard, and did not enter into objections against Al-Ahly officials because of their insistence on keeping all players to participate in the African final.
The source added, “Al-Shennawy, the leader of Al-Ahly, does not want to be absent, of course, from the Kaizer Chiefs match in the Champions League final, because he is fully convinced of his role with the team and his desire to carry the African Cup if the Red Genie is crowned with the title, because it will be the second time in the goalkeeper’s history with the Red Castle after the famous century final with Zamalek. ".
The source added, "Al-Shennawy obtained a promise from Al-Ahly to agree to his participation in the Tokyo Olympics, provided that CAF agreed to advance the date of the match in a way that does not prevent his participation in the African final, which El-Shinawy values, especially in light of his good relationship with all officials in Al-Ahly."
The source indicated that "Al-Shennawy is closely following with great interest the CAF response to the Football Association's request to change the date of the African final, so that he can appear in this global forum and repeat the scenario of his brilliance with the Pharaohs in the World Cup Russia 2018."
In the event that Mohamed El-Shennawy participates with the Olympic team in the Olympics, he will have participated in all continental tournaments, whether in the African Champions League, the African Cup of Nations or the World Cup, just like Issam El-Hadary, but El-Shennawy’s participation in the Tokyo Olympics will give him superiority in participation over the High Dam.
El-Shennawy has a weak chance to participate in the Olympics, after his club qualified for the final of the African Champions League on July 17, at a time when the team must enter the medical bubble on the same day in Tokyo, according to the instructions of the organizing committee for the tournament.
