Ahli's EGP 8million summer signing Al-Sayed Hamdi will not be making his league debut against Harras Hodoud on Friday after being dropped from Manuel Jose's 19-man list. The Egypt striker had no place in Jose's frontline, which included Emad Meteb, Dominique da Silva, Fabio Junior and Geddo. Mohamed Fadl was also omitted, along with Sherif Abdul-Fadil, Moataz Eno, Ahmed Al-Sayed and Shehab Ahmed. Summer signing Ahmed Shedid was included, along with two other left-sided full-backs in Sayed Moawad and Ayman Ashraf. Goalkeeper Sherif Ekrami is back from injury to replace Mahmoud Aboul-Saoud as second-choice to Ahmed Adel.
