Egypt playmaker Abou-Treika has been out of action since the beginning of May due to a calf injury, but has been declared fit for the Alexandria clash.

Another alteration to the squad that faced Military Production last weekend saw striker Hosni make way after his unimpressive second-half performance in the 2-2 draw.

Manager Jose, however, did not call a replacement striker as he recalled defender Mohamed Samir for the first time since taking charge in January.

Midfielders Mohamed Shawky and Shehab Ahmed continued to miss out due to injury, so did strikers Mohamed Fadl and Emad Meteb.

While Abou-Treika is set to return for Ahli, Hodoud will also have star man Ahmed Eid after three months on the sidelines.

Ahli squad:

Goalkeepers: Mahmoud Aboul-Saoud, Ahmed Adel

Defenders: Ahmed Al-Sayed, Sherif Abdul-Fadil, Wael Gomaa, Sayed Moawad, Ahmed Fathi, Mohamed Samir

Midfielders: Ahmed Hassan, Ahmed Nabil ‘Manga’, Moataz Eno, Mohamed Barakat, Amir Sayoud, Abdul-Hamid Shabana, Hossam Ashour, Hossam Ghaly, Mohamed Abou-Treika

Strikers: Geddo, Dominique da Silva
