CAIRO: The Al Ahly team has announced that the squad that will face Zamalek tonight will be composed mainly of young, substitute players.
The club won the league title a few weeks ago.
Key players such as Mohamed Aboutrika, Mohamed Barakat, Flavio Amado and Emad Meteb, will not participate in the anticipated game and the team s coach Manuel Jose will not attend the game, leaving the helm with his assistant Hossam El-Badry.
On other hand, Zamlek will play with its full squad and have been preparing much more diligently than Ahly whose training camp was set up at a hotel for only one day.
The 99th face-off between Egypt’s top two teams will be held tonight at the Cairo stadium.
