The Angolan sustained the problem during Ahli’s 2-1 Champions League victory over arch-rivals Zamalek last Sunday.

He was deemed doubtful for the Egyptian Super Cup against Zamalek on Sunday- the second Cairo derby in the space of seven days.

But Gilberto will link up with his teammates in their last training session before the anticipated game.

Should the 25-year-old fail to be fit in time for the match, newly-arrived left back Sayed Moawad will probably fill in for him.
