Al Ahly, Zamalek announce squads for cup final

Al Ahly and Zamalek have revealed their line-ups ahead of the Monday night finale.

In the few weeks leading up to the Egyptian Cup final, both teams have had to shake up their squads due to players returning from and succumbing to injuries.

Zamalek will welcome the return of Ayman Hefny and leading scorer Bassem Morsi, but the White Castle will be without the services of Ibrahim Salah and Mohamed Ibrahim.

Al Ahly are welcoming the return of Ghanaian international John Antwi, who has been nursing an ankle injury the past few weeks. The Red Devils were forced to alter their line-up after midfielder Hossam Ghaly fell to an injury last week.

Al Ahly holds 35 titles in the tournament, leading the White Castle’s 21 titles.
