Ahli's website stated that the Lebanese striker, who signed from Nejmeh, was added to the list along with young full-back Ayman Ashraf.

Ghaddar's chances of playing his maiden game are odds-on, given the shortage of strikers for Hossam Al-Badri's team.

Liberian Francis Doe and youngster Mohamed Talaat were the only recognized and fit strikers available during the Super Cup win over Harras Hodoud.

Ashraf, on the other hand, is the only backup option for left-back Sayed Moawad, following the departure of Angola's Gilberto.

The new entries leave the Egyptian champions with one more slot to fill, with new signings Mahmoud Aboul-Saoud and Abdul-Hamid Shabana among the candidates.
