Mohamed Abou-Treika is likely to be in the starting eleven when Ahli take on Monterrey in the Cub World Cup third-place playoff.
Ahli’s website revealed that the midfield marvel played a central role in the team’s final practice match before Sunday’s clash in Yokohama.
Despite starting on the bench in Ahli's first two games, Abou-Treika has been in an impressive form so far, netting the winner in the quarter-final win over Hiroshima Sanfrecce.
The 33-year-old is one goal away from becoming the competition’s all-time leading goalscorer, having already equaled Lionel Messi’s four-goal record last week.
