Al Ahly turn their attention to domestic cup action this week when they take on El Gaish on Thursday afternoon.
The Egyptian League Cup returns to Al Salam Stadium this week with the hosts looking to build on a road win at Pharco last weekend while El Gaish come into this fixture after a narrow win, also against Pharco, ten days ago.
Al Ahly have enjoyed the better of past encounters, and will be expected to make it back-to-back wins on Thursday.

Al Ahly team overview
Al Ahly face their final League Cup, Group A fixture after a dominant 4:1 win against Pharco last weekend. Hussein El Shahat bagged a hat-trick in a comfortable road win for Jess Thorup´s side.
A disappointing campaign has seen the home side lose three and win just one of their first four fixtures in the section.
Knowing only a win will do if they are to have any chance of securing qualification, a high-scoring encounter could be on the cards on Thursday. Al Ahly have seen over 2.5 goals in their last four games.
Head coach Thorup has no reported injury issues this week.

El Gaish team overview
El Gaish make the trip to Al Salam Stadium after a narrow 1:0 win against Pharco earlier this month. Mohamed Camacho's early goal proved the difference as Gomaa Mashour's men secured a vital League Cup win.
The visitors now find themselves top of Group A, with ten points picked up from five games completed.
A strong run of form in recent weeks has seen El Gaish lose just one of their last eight games. Mashour´s side had failed to win nine of ten previous matches before their uptick in performance in the League Cup.
Head coach Mashour is likely to name the same side that edged past Pharco ten days ago.
