The African champions are set to start preparations for the crucial Group C tie, before announcing the final squad for the match next week.
Seventeen local-based players were selected on Saturday, following last week's seven-man foreign-based list.
The roster included uncapped Harras Hodoud center-half Ahmed Saied 'Ouka', while there was no place for Zamalek wizard Shikabala.
Gaish full-back Mohsen Hendawi was also a surprise inclusion, but the right-sided defender might find it difficult to make the game's squad.
