Mercurial player Barakat missed the Red Devils' 2-2 draw at Ittihad and Tuesday's 2-1 win over Harras Hodoud due to a nagging knee problem.

Holding midfielder Ashour was also kept on the sidelines for the last four matches with an ankle injury.

Ahli said on their official site the pair got back in training on Wednesday after reaching full recovery.

The Cairo giants will face their arch-rivals Zamalek on December 30th in their last league match this year.

Defending champions Ahli are in fifth place on 23 points, four behind leaders Zamalek.
