Goalkeeper: Mostafa Makhlouf.
Defense: Mohamed El Helwany, Mohamed Sharqia, Ahmed Youssef, Ali Fawzi.
Midfield: Walid Mostafa, Ghannam Mohamed, Ahmed Mostafa, Mohamed Massad.

⭐ Mohamed Massad Enters Zamalek’s Plans
The match also features Mohamed Massad, the Modern Sport player who has reportedly emerged as a potential target for Zamalek ahead of the January transfer window.
Sports presenter Khaled El Ghandour reported that Mohamed Massad, who can operate as a winger, is strongly considered as a potential Zamalek signing in January after his name was discussed within the club in recent weeks.
Zamalek are looking to strengthen their squad during the upcoming transfer window, particularly with the need for additional attacking options, which has brought Massad into consideration.
🔥 Zamalek Considering Opening Negotiations
According to the reports, Zamalek have yet to make a final decision on whether to begin negotiations with the player and Modern Sport, but Massad’s name has become a notable option within the club.
The coming period is expected to determine how serious Zamalek’s interest will become, particularly because the player’s performances with Modern Sport during the new season could influence the club’s final decision.
Starting against El Gouna also gives Massad an important opportunity to demonstrate his abilities, especially with his name now being linked with a potential move to one of Egypt’s biggest clubs.
❌ Modern Sport Deny Talks for Ahmed Kalousha
Meanwhile, a responsible source at Modern Sport has denied reports that the club entered negotiations with ENPPI defender Ahmed Kalousha over a possible transfer.
ENPPI president Ayman El Sheriey had previously spoken about negotiations with Modern Sport regarding the player, but Modern Sport officials denied the reports and confirmed that Kalousha is not part of the club’s plans.
The source explained that Modern Sport have not negotiated with the player and that no contact has taken place with him recently, stressing that the club has a clear plan regarding the signings it wants to make to strengthen the squad.
🧤 Mohamed Abou Gabal Among Modern Sport’s Key Signings
Modern Sport’s management continues to work on building a competitive squad for the new season after completing several signings during the transfer window.
Former National Bank of Egypt goalkeeper Mohamed Abou Gabal is among the club’s most notable additions, as Modern Sport look to strengthen the team with players who have extensive Egyptian Premier League experience.
The club hopes the new signings will help improve its performances throughout the season, particularly as the coaching staff aims to produce positive results from the opening rounds.
🏆 Important Start for Modern Sport
The El Gouna match represents an important early test for Modern Sport, as the coaching staff looks to build chemistry between new and existing players and identify the strongest possible lineup.
At the same time, attention will be focused on Mohamed Massad, not only because of his appearance for Modern Sport but also because of his reported emergence as a Zamalek target ahead of a possible January move.
