Pitso Mosimane to persist with Al Ahly youth in Egyptian League Cup

Al Ahly opened their account in the inaugural edition of the competition with a goalless draw against El-Gouna on Thursday in a match in which the reigning African champions fielded a starting XI that predominantly featured academy players.

"We’re facing a very special with the absence of players because of the Africa Cup of Nations and Covid-19, which gave an opportunity for the youngsters to play," the former Mamelodi Sundowns boss said, per"This situation may be harmful and beneficial, they are distinguished players, but they do not participate in training frequently. I attended their training during the international break to prepare for this day, to give them confidence.

Mosimane also confirmed that he would continue with the youth players for the remainder of the tournament, regardless of whether or not the decision potentially hindered his side's prospects of being crowned champions.
