The Cairo Zamalek� side, whose only hope of silverware this term lies in Egypt’s secondary competition, should face no difficulty in overcoming second-division side Fayoum away from home. But they no longer take anything for granted.

Al Ahly have just two strikers available going into today’s Egyptian Cup first-round game against second-division side Nabaroh.

Back-up strikers Mohamed Fadl and Ahmed Belal will spearhead Ahli’s attack against their unfancied opponents in the absence of Emad Meteb, Osama Hosni and Francis Doe.
