The “Red Devils” are currently preparing for their final Egyptian Premier League match of the season against Al Masry SC, scheduled to take place in Alexandria this Wednesday.

Health Status and Medical Supervision

According to Al Ahly’s statement, the Danish manager suffered a sudden illness that required immediate medical intervention. He is currently receiving the necessary care in a private hospital under the direct supervision of the club’s medical staff.

The club’s chief medical officer reassured fans, stating:

“Thorup’s condition is stable. He is undergoing further medical examinations to ensure a full recovery before being discharged.”

Uncertainty Over the Final Match

Thorup’s presence on the touchline for the crucial clash in Alexandria remains uncertain.

This match marks the end of his tenure with Al Ahly, as both parties have already agreed to terminate the contract by mutual consent, with the coach receiving a five-month salary buyout clause.

The Title Race Scenario

The stakes couldn’t be higher for the final round. For Al Ahly to be crowned champions:

  1. They must defeat Al Masry.

  2. Zamalek must lose to Ceramica Cleopatra.

  3. Pyramids FC must draw or lose against Smouha.
