CAIRO: Zamalek striker Junior Agogo is set to miss out on the team s league match with Masri on Wednesday, according to football director Ahmed Abdullah.
Despite the fact that Zamalek are yet to announce their squad for the Port-Saied clash, Abdullah revealed that Agogo will be left out for the second consecutive game.
Agogo will not be selected for technical reasons, the Zamalek staff member told FilGoal.com.
The Ghanaian forward, who had problems with the Cairo club lately, was overlooked by new coach Michel Decastel in last weekend s 1-0 defeat against Ittihad.
Meanwhile, Gamal Hamza is included in Zamalek s squad clash with Masri, while Ivorian striker Olie Koffi Kan was a surprise omission, the Cairo club said.
Striker Hamza sustained a knee injury in the recent 1-0 defeat at Ittihad and was a major doubt for the Port-Saied match, but the 27-year-old is ready to shake off the minor problem.
Goalkeeper Mohamed Abdel-Monsef is still out with flu, as Mahmoud Samir, Osama Hassan and Sabri Rahil were left out, despite the latter s starting role against Ittihad.
Eighth-placed Zamalek are in desperate need for the three points in order to enhance their poor league position, which leaves them close to the relegation zone.
