Al Ahly’s head coach René Weiler has potentially made his mind on the line-up for tonight’s encounter in the CAF Champions League group stage against Sudan's Al Hilal

The game is set to be aired via Bein Sports and Time Sports. Time will have the right to broadcast this clash on the terrestrial TV channels.

Both clubs, who were pooled in Group B alongside Platinum (Zimbabwe), Etoile du Sahel (Tunisia), are set to clash on Friday at Al-Salam Stadium (21:00 CLT).

The Swiss coach has settled on his eleven-man player, who will start the game. The line-up is set to witness the participation of Ahmed Fathy in the left-back to compensate the absence of Ali Maâloul, who was ruled out due to an injury. Weiler also would start the game with Junior Ajayi or Walid Azaro in the attacking line.

The Potential Line-Up is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Mohamed El-Shenawy

Defenders: Mohamed Hany, Ramy Rabia, Yasser Ibrahim, Mahmoud Wahid or Ahmed Fathy

Midfielders: Amr El Solia, Aliou Dieng

Forwards: Junior Ajayi or Walid Azaro

The Red Devils, who will enter the game in the presence of 15,000 supporters, are in an urgent need for pulling off the victory to compensate their lose against Etoile du Sahel in the group stage opening game.

The eight-time African champions went down to a 0-1 defeat by Etoile du Sahel a week ago. On the other hand, AL Hilal are looking forward to cementing their lead after clinching a 2-1 victory in the first round over Platinum.
