Ahli have reached an agreement with the national team to keep Ahmed Fathi and Ahmed Hassan for next week's CAF Confederation Cup tie with Santos of Angola.

The Red Devils will play on Saturday May 31st in Viana as Egypt face Oman in a friendly one day later.

The fixtures clash was about to cause a rift between both parties, but it now seems settled after they agreed on splitting players between them.

"Mohamed Abou-Treika, Wael Gomaa and Sayed Moawad will join the Egypt squad, which means that Fathi and Hassan stay with Ahli," Egypt team coach Hamada Sedki told FilGoal.com.

Fathi and Hassan will join their Egypt mates immediately after the Santos game, ahead of the World Cup qualifier in Algeria on June 6th.

Ahli boast a comfortable lead over the Angolan minnows, following the 3-0 round of 16 first-leg win in Cairo.
