Al Ahly's first-team football squad returned to training on November 3, 2026, at the Moukhtar El-Tetch stadium. The session was part of the team's preparations for their upcoming Egypt Cup match against Sكة الحديد in the round of 32. The training saw the return of several key players, including حسين الشحات, مروان عطية, and أقطاي عبد الله. Their participation is a significant boost to the team as they gear up for the crucial cup match.
حسين الشحات has recovered from a lower abdominal muscle injury and rejoined his teammates. Similarly, أقطاي عبد الله has overcome a hip bruise and is now available for selection. مروان عطية, who was given rest before the المقاولون العرب match on November 2, 2026, as part of the كأس عاصمة مصر competition, has also returned to full training. Their availability will undoubtedly strengthen Al Ahly's lineup for the upcoming match.
In other developments, مصطفى شوبير and أحمد خالد كباكا were granted special permission by the technical staff to skip the morning training session. They instead participated in an evening training session. The reason for their absence from the main group training was not disclosed, but it is understood that they were allowed to train separately due to specific circumstances.

The team will look to make a strong impression and advance to the next round of the competition. With key players returning to fitness, the squad is expected to be bolstered by their presence.
The return of these players is a timely boost for Al Ahly, who have been competing in multiple fronts this season.

The team's coach and medical staff will be keen to ensure that the returning players are fully fit and integrated into the team before the Sكة الحديد match.
