Ahli said on their official website that the 30-year-old, who will be accompanied by doctor Ihab Ali, felt 'slight pain' to his knee during the past few days.

The Egypt playmaker underwent knee surgery in Germany last year, following a tear in the medial collateral ligament.

Abou-Treika experienced a notable dip in form of late, which prompted coach Manuel Jose to rely on the in-form Mohamed Barakat.

The Ahli fans' favorite started on the bench in the recent Cairo derby win over Zamalek, before making a quiet second-half appearance.
