CAIRO: Gamal Hamza has been named in Zamalek’s 18-man squad for the Cairo derby on Monday while Skipper Hazem Emam and veteran left-back Tarek Al-Sayed were dropped from the list.
Hamza was called up after resolving his financial dispute with the club. He will replace Mostafa Gaafar who misses the game due to an injury.
Emam and Al-Sayed were left out since the arrival of Dutch coach Ruud Krol and their omission from the anticipated clash is likely to raise doubts over their future with Zamalek.
Jordanian left-back Khaled Saad, who has just made one appearance as a substitute after joining Zamalek from Faisali in the close season, has been once again left out of the team s squad.
Defender Wissem El-Abdi has returned to the squad after he was omitted from the previous league game against Enppi due to showing up late after fulfilling international duty with Tunisia.
Youngsters Sherif Ashraf and Mohamed Ibrahim have been also named.
