AFP, Johannesburg :
A blunder-prone goalkeeper and the loss of star attackers have added to the problems confronting Al Ahly coach Martin Jol ahead of a must-win CAF Champions League clash this weekend.
The Egyptian and African giants host Group A leaders Wydad Casablanca from Morocco Saturday desperate for maximum points after a disastrous start to the mini-league phase.
Pre-season favourites for a record-extending ninth title, the Cairo Red Devils fell 3-2 away to Zesco United of Zambia and 2-1 at home to ASEC Mimosas of the Ivory Coast.
Repeated mistakes by experienced national team goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy contributed to the defeats, with his worst error gifting ASEC victory in Mediterranean city Alexandria.
