National Bank of Egypt team news
A starting central defender, Mahmoud El Gazzar, received a red card in the last match against El Mokawloon and will serve his suspension in this game.
A starting right full-back, Osama Ibrahim, suffered an injury in a match against Al Masry and had to be substituted after 14 minutes. He missed the previous two games and should miss the Ismaily game too.
An important midfielder, Mohamed Basiuni, suffered an injury after 17 minutes in the Ceramica Cleopatra game and missed the next game. He will most likely miss the Ismaily game.
Razak Cisse should miss the game, too, with an injury. The 24-year-old winger has already missed the previous seven games.
