According to Ysscores, Al Ahly believe a third international fixture would leave their players with insufficient recovery time before their derby against Zamalek after the break.
The Egyptian giants currently have six players in the national squad: Mostafa Shobair, Marwan Attia, Mohamed Hany, Imam Ashour, Ahmed Sayed Zizo and Ali Mahmoud.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has already left the Egypt camp and will miss the South Sudan encounter following an agreement with the national team’s technical staff aimed at managing his workload.
