The squad bore an unexpected surprise, with the participation of the Egyptian midfielder, Amr Al-Sulayya, as a key player in the match.
The surprise is that Al-Sulayya participated mainly in the African Nations Cup final against Senegal, on Sunday evening, less than 48 hours before the Palmeiras meeting.
Al-Sulayya was replaced in the final match, in the 60th minute, and his failure to play the final match in full may be one of the reasons for his primary involvement against Palmeiras.
Defender Ayman Ashraf, who was on the bench in the African Nations Cup final, will also participate.
Al-Ahly will enter the goalkeeper Ali Lotfi, and the five defensive lines, Yasser Ibrahim, Rami Rabea, Ayman Ashraf, Muhammad Hani and Ali Maaloul, and in the midfield duo Aliou Diang and Amr Al-Sulayya, and the attacking trio of Majdi Afsha, Hussein Al-Shahat and Taher Muhammad.
