Ahli will be without Egypt duo Emad Meteb and Sayed Moawad when they visit Sunshine Stars in the Champions League semis due to injury. Striker Meteb is still struggling with a kidney stone, while full-back Moawad has a muscle problem. To add to the Reds' striking woes, Ivorian Oussou Konan was also ruled out, giving the chance to Al-Sayed Hamdi to make a rare appearance. Star midfielder Mohamed Abou-Treika is already out as he serves a two-month club ban for the famous Super Cup saga last month.
