CAIRO: Ahly manager Hossam Al-Badri has decided to rule out unfit trio Mohamed Barakat, Hossam Ashour and Mohamed Fadl from Thursday’s friendly with Ajax, whereas Mohamed Abou-Trika could feature.
Ahly’s official site stated that star midfielder Barakat is struggling with a back injury, while Ashour and Fadl have ankle and groin problems respectively.
However, the Egyptian champions could be boosted by the availability of talisman Abou-Trika, who has been nursing an ankle injury lately.
"I am really looking forward to taking part of such a memorable game," Trika said.
"I feel much better but the management have the final say."
Ahly face the Dutch giants as a final test before their CAF Champions League group stage opener with Nigeria’s Heartland on July 17.
