CAIRO: Zamalek are likely to be without injured striker Gamal Hamza when they visit Masri this week, the Cairo club said on Sunday.
Hamza suffered a knee injury in Saturday s 1-0 defeat to Ittihad, where the 27-year-old came on as a second half substitute.
Gamal will be subjected to extensive treatment in an attempt to have him fit by Wednesday, but I think it will be very difficult, Zamalek medical chief Mostafa Monairi said.
Zamalek s defeat in Alexandria saw them slumping to eighth place in the league table, only three points off the relegation zone.
The beleaguered Cairo club is now set to face another tough challenge on Wednesday against Masri, who were marginally beaten by leaders Ahly on Saturday.
