The session, led by Head Coach Kim Lars Björkegren and his technical staff, focused on light recovery work, ball control, and tactical drills to help the players adjust to the conditions in Ismailia.
Coach Björkegren expressed satisfaction with the squad’s commitment and work rate, emphasizing that the players are fully focused on executing their game plan for the crucial encounter.
The rest of the players are expected to join the team soon to complete the squad before their final training session ahead of the match at the Ismailia–Suez Canal Stadium on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
