However, the Egyptian Premier League will take to the field without Democratic Republic of Congo international striker Fiston Mayele.
The club have confirmed that the 29-year-old did not obtain a visa and was unable to travel with the team to South Africa this week and coach Jaime Pacheco insists he will be a big miss.
"Miley is a very important player and a strong addition to the attacking line," Pachecho told the media, as per the club's website.
"He is currently the strongest candidate to win the Best Player Award on the continent for last year.
"His presence would have given Pyramids additional strength in the attacking line, but he must deal with the current situation, stressing that he has great confidence in his players and their ability."
