    Egyptian international and Ahli talisman Mohamed Abou-Treika returns from injury as his club host an ambitious Gaish side in Cairo. Fans favorite Treika returns to boost his team following a long-term foot injury that forced him to miss Egypt's African Cup of Nations campaign in Angola.

    Ahli, who were hit by a number of injuries recently, also have back Sayed Moawad to boost the left flank after he missed the last three games, according to Filgoal.com.

    The league leaders, almost regaining full strength, are aiming to maintain their supremacy amid competition from second-placed Petrojet and the fantastic form of arch-rivals Zamalek.

    Zamalek's dismal start to the season sparked relegation fears for the Cairo giants, but they are now back in the top four, closing the gap with Ahli to nine points.

    Some pundits have even tipped the White Knights to provide a title-challenge with their bitter rivals, who became under pressure to respond.
