Mowaad and Gilberto missed Ahli's 1-0 win over Gouna on Wednesday due to a groin problem and severe flu respectively, which urged boss Hossam Al-Bardi to deploy Abdullah Farouk as a left back.

But now the duo is poised to make the squad for the Red Devils' trip to Production in the Egyptian Premier League.

Midfielder Hossam Ashour has also shaken off a hamstring strain, and could well play against the promoted outfit.

Off-form striker Ahmed Belal has been ruled out of the match with a groin injury, and is expected to recover in a week.

The League will be paused next week in order for the Egyptian national team to start preparing for the African Cup of Nations (CAN), which gets underway in January.
