"The Egyptian League can't continue until October or November since all international breaks and African tournaments will conclude on 12 July," Diab addressed the speculation during a television program.
"The Egyptian League will be concluded in mid-August," he said.
"We have made every effort to ensure the league's schedule accommodates all postponed matches from the initial rounds," Diab concluded.
