Nahdet Berkane faces Al Hilal with significant absences

Nahdet Berkane team will host Al Hilal of Sudan, on Saturday, at the Amahoro Stadium in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, as part of the second leg of the African Champions League quarter-finals, as the orange team seeks to grab the ticket to the semi-finals.

The Moroccan football representative enters this confrontation, deprived of basic pillar services due to injury, and the matter concerns both goalkeepers Mounir El Mohammadi and Mehdi Moftah, in addition to Haitham Manout, Oussama El Meliou, and Zinedine Mechache, while the participation of the duo Soumaila Sidibe and Mohamed El Mourabit remains subject to the decision of the medical staff after their recent return to training.

On the other hand, coach Mouin Chaabani received a strong boost, with the return of striker Paul-Valaire Bassin, who has been absent from the field since the beginning of this March, as he is expected to constitute an important offensive addition to the Ennahda battalion on this continental journey.

The first leg, which was held at the municipal stadium in Berkane, ended in a 1-1 draw, with the Sudanese team scoring first through Abdel-Razzaq Yacoub Roufa, before Mounir Choueir succeeded in equalizing for RS Berkane, from a penalty kick in the final moments of the match.
