Although two rounds of the 2026–2027 Egyptian Premier League have passed, several Al Ahly players are still awaiting their debut appearances of the new season.
Al Ahly began their league campaign with a 3–2 victory over Sharqia Enppi, followed by a 2–0 win against ZED, securing full points after the first two rounds.
Competition within Al Ahly's squad has intensified this season due to the abundance of options available across all positions, making it more difficult for players to earn playing opportunities.
Several players are eagerly anticipating making their first appearance in an Al Ahly jersey during the new season, which is expected to happen in upcoming matches.
Some players have missed participation since the start of the season due to ongoing injury rehabilitation, most notably Imam Ashour and Yasser Ibrahim.
Additionally, the new trio Tawfik Mohamed, Mahmoud Salah, and Akram Tawfik have not yet received any playing time with Al Ahly.
The Moroccan duo Achraf Dari and Reda Slim hope to be included in Al Ahly's squad list for upcoming matches, paving the way for their season debuts.
Captain Mohamed El-Shenawy did not participate in the first two rounds, as Mustafa Shobeir has been relied upon to guard Al Ahly's goal.
Al Ahly is preparing to face Smouha next Thursday in the third round of the Premier League competition.
