“We are relieved to have Ahmed Eid and Ahmed Salama back from injury,” Hodoud assistant manager Abou-Taleb Al-Essawi told FilGoal.com.

Eid has been out of action for over three months due to a knee injury which forced him to miss Egypt’s 1-0 defeat in South Africa back in March.

Hodoud will, however, be without first-choice goalkeeper Ali Farag who sustained a hamstring injury and is set to be replaced by his deputy Gharib Hafez.
