“Abdel-Fadil has recovered from his abdominal muscle pain and El-Sayed is now well after having  influenza,”  the club announced on its official website.

International defender Abdel-Fadil missed the last game against Smouha because of his injury but he is now fit to strengthen the team’s shaky defense.

Coach Abdel Aziz Abdel Shafy is eager to win his first game with the team, when they travel to play Ittihad in a postponed game from Day 5 of the Egyptian Premier League.

Ahly are fifth in the league table with 19 points, 8 points behind leaders Zamalek, and still have three games in hand.
