Wael Gomaa, Al-Ahly's football director, denied his club's request to recall the team's players from the Egypt national squad following the match against South Sudan.
The Egypt national team is preparing to host South Sudan tomorrow, Tuesday, in the second round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Wael Gomaa told FilGoal.com: "We did not request the return of our team's players from the Egypt national camp after the South Sudan match, nor did we ask them to skip the friendly against South Africa."
Mustafa Shobeir, Mohamed Hany, Imam Ashour, Ahmed Sayed "Zizo", and Ali Mahmoud from Al-Ahly are currently with the Egypt national team.
The Egypt national team is competing in the qualifiers within Group Two, which includes Malawi, Angola, and South Sudan.
In the first round, the Egypt national team drew goalless with Angola at Cairo International Stadium.
Meanwhile, South Sudan suffered a 2-1 defeat against Malawi.
