The Red Devils, who are eyeing an eighth consecutive league triumph, have made a fine start to the season in terms of results but a series of unconvincing displays combined with wastefulness in front of goal are casting doubts over whether they can remain the formidable force of the past seven seasons.
�Meteb is still suffering from back pains. He will not be able to play against El-Geish,� Ahly football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz said on the club�s official website.
�He is also doubtful for Saturday�s friendly game against Bayern Munich in Qatar.�
Ahly benefited from the pitch invasion of Ghazl El-Mahalla supporters last week which prompted the Egyptian FA to award them a 2-0 victory. The match was called off in the second half when the score was 2-2.They lie third in the 19-team table with 23 points, five behind surprise leaders Haras El-Hodoud who played two games more.
Ahly will miss defender Sherif Abdel-Fadil against Geish due to a calf injury but they will have regular goalie Sherif Ekramy back after he recovered from a minor complaint.
Geish, who are 13th in the table, will have to do without Ivorian striker Abou Kone, who fractured his arm during their 2-1 defeat by Ismaily.
