Aston Villa’s Egyptian fanbase is widespread throughout the country, and the birthday of Ahmed Elmohamady has got fans in a state of appreciation for the popular defender.
Elmohamady, 31, has been with Villa since 2017 and has made over 80 appearances for the club, including player a starring role in their promotion-winning campaign from the Championship.
The arrival of Frédéric Guilbert was expected to pave the way for a bit-part role for the Egyptian in the 2019/20 Premier League campaign, but the right-back has been exceptional for Villa and has, so far, retained his place in the starting XI.
Check out some of the best reactions to Villa’s birthday post for Elmohamady below.
