Ahli defender Mohamed Naguib made the team's squad for the first time since last October but Emad Meteb and Mohamed Barakat remain sidelined for Saturday's game against Arab Contractors. Naguib, who joined the Red Devils in the close season, completed his recuperation from a hamstring tear sustained in a league game at Ittihad a few months ago. The Egypt center-half's return is much-needed for the league holders, who will miss star defender Wael Gomaa through suspension. Striker Meteb, who has been out of action for several weeks with a back problem, is still unfit, while Barakat has just recovered from a calf injury but will not be risked.
