Al Ahly faces Misr El Makasa today in preparation for the upcoming fixtures.

Absence of International Players from Al Ahly vs. Misr El Makasa Friendly

Al Ahly will play today's match without its key players who are engaged with their national teams during the international break, providing the coaching staff with a suitable opportunity to evaluate substitutes and young players, and to ensure their readiness to rely on them in the upcoming phase, which will see a heavy schedule of matches.
Al Ahly will resume its commitments after the break with a match against Petrojet on October 7, as part of the first round of the Cairo Capital Cup, before facing Zamalek in the anticipated match on October 11 in the sixth round of the Egyptian Premier League.

The coaching staff is expected to rely in today's friendly on a group of players who have not had the chance to participate regularly, with the possibility of experimenting with different playing styles and utilizing several players in various positions, aiming to enhance cohesion and achieve the greatest benefit from the match. This encounter is also an important opportunity for players returning from injuries to gradually regain match sensitivity, according to the medical and technical staff's assessment, while ensuring that no player is pushed to participate before being fully fit physically.
