Ahli Stadium-Osama Khairy: Ahli's Egyptian league match against Tersana on Monday will witness the return of striker Emad Meteb. Meteb, who has been recently been demoted to the bench for administrative then fitness reasons, was named in Ahli's 18-man squad for Monday's game. The absence of Mohamed Barakat, on the other hand, continues as he was not named by Ahli's coaching staff in the squad for the Tersana game. Barakat spent an hour jogging around the field in the practice session on Sunday evening in preparation for Saturday's match against ASEC Mimosas in the African Champions League.

"Whether I will play or not will be up to the coach." Among the players who will miss Tersana's game will be duo Islam Al-Shater and Tarek Al-Saied. Coach Manuel Jose has chosen to rest Al-Saied and Al-Shater for the second consecutive match, while winger Mohamed Abdullah was surprisingly omitted from the 18-man squad.
