Angolan international Flavio will fly home for a vacation and will return on Saturday, Ahli assistant coach Hossam Al-Badri told FilGoal.com.

Gomaa sustained a foot injury that will rule him out of action for up to ten days, according to Egypt national team doctor Ahmed Maged.

He will miss the cup match as well as Ahli's Egyptian League game against Harras Al-Hodoud on the first of February.

The Egyptian champions' playmaker Mohamed Abou-Treika is undergoing a rehabilitation period in order to be fit as soon as possible after suffering a groin injury.

Meanwhile, Ahli coach Manuel Jose will return to the club on Friday after spending a short holiday in Portugal.
