Al Ahly are already without goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy, but they will be without attacking midfielder Emam Ashour who picked up a shoulder injury during the international break.

“Simba is one of the strong teams and has a good group of players, and we have faced them twice this season in the African Super League.

“We have some influential absences, but there is confidence in every member of the team to compensate for the absences and injuries.

“All Al-Ahly players are at the same level and they can deliver what is required and achieve a positive result.”
