The 30-year-old, who moved to Masri from Ahli on loan until the end of the season, will be leading the Port-Said club's defence at Cairo International stadium.

Masri coach Bertalan Bicskei decided to start with a lone striker in the shape of ex-Ahli player Ahmed Galal, with Wagih Abdul-Azim as a second striker.

On the other side, Sayed Moawad will be taking Gilberto's place at Ahli's left back. Coach Manuel Jose named regular centre-backs Wael Gomaa, Shadi Mohamed and Ahmed Al-Sayed for the game.

Similar to Ahli's line-up against Sfaxien in the CAF Super Cup, Mohamed Barakat and Ahmed Hassan will both play behind Flavio Amado in attack.
