Al Ahly will enter the match without Ramadan Sobhi, one of Al Ahly’s key players, due to not being fully recovered from a muscular injury that he suffered from earlier last month.
Also, the following Al Ahly players: Hossam Ashour, Mahmoud Kahraba, and Mahmoud Wahid were excluded by Weiler from Al Ahly’s squad due to technical reasons.
