Midfielder Mohamed Abou-Treika has been included in Ahli's squad for Monday's Egyptian league match against Asyut Cement, the player confirmed on Sunday. Abou-Treika said that he has completely recovered from the thigh injury that had sidelined since March 28th and that he was ready to face Asyut Cement. The 27-year-old playmaker will make the trip to Asyut but said he was not sure if he will start the game. "Whether or not I start is undetermined yet, but I will surely play a part in the game," Abou-Treika told FilGoal.com after Sunday's training session. The Egypt international, who leads the league scorers with 11 goals, was sidelined in Ahli's matches against Masri, Ismaili and Ittihad. Meanwhile, striker Osama Hosni and Angolan midfielder Gilberto underwent a light training session while Mohamed Barakat was rested in Ahli's training session.
