The defending champions sit on 18 points, but with games in hand. A win would see them lead the summit. Al Ittihad, meanwhile, are struggling in 17th place, with just eight points from nine matches.

Al Ahly resumed training on Monday evening at El-Tetsh Stadium as the team began preparations for the upcoming Egyptian Premier League fixture against Al Ittihad of Alexandria, scheduled for Wednesday.

Al Ahly midfielder Mohamed Magdy Afsha has played down title talk, insisting the Egyptian Premier League campaign remains a long and competitive journey after the club’s recent winning run.
