“I am back with my team, tomorrow we have a league match, and after that, we have to prepare for a big match against Al Ahly,” Benchikha said via the club’s official account on X.

“We have to prepare for this match seriously, and we hope that our fans will attend to show them that we have people behind us, and we want to put pressure on them so that we do not regret it.”
