We caught a first glimpse of Egyptian u23 international Ahmed Hamdy at CF Montreal training this morning.
It’s Hamdy’s first day of liberation away from his hotel incarceration. He showed up well in the main scrimmage with his new team-mates, looking fit and solid, as much as you can tell from a first training session following 14 days of isolation.
Unlike any of his CFM U23 team-mates from the US and Canada, he is likely to participate in Olympic football in Tokyo this summer, being part of the Egyptian squad successful in the African Zone qualifiers.
There was more optimism too in the return to the training field of Luis Binks.
