The coaching staff of Zamalek’s first football team is intensifying preparations for the highly anticipated match against Pharco, scheduled for May 31st as part of the final round of the Premier League. Special attention is being given to reassessing the physical and technical condition of midfield duo Nasser Maher and Mahmoud Jihad.

Sources revealed a strong intention by the coaching team, led by Ayman Al-Ramadi, to include the duo in the squad for the Pharco match after their recovery from injury and their recent return to full participation in group training sessions. This increases the chances of their presence either in the starting lineup or at least on the bench.

Nasser Maher had been sidelined due to a severe ankle injury, while Mahmoud Jihad was suffering from hamstring pain. Both followed an intensive rehabilitation program supervised by the medical staff until they fully recovered.

The match against Pharco serves as a final rehearsal before the awaited Egypt Cup final against Pyramids, pushing the coaching staff to prepare all available players, especially in midfield, to ensure the best technical and physical readiness for the crucial encounter.

The return of Nasser Maher and Mahmoud Jihad provides a strong technical and moral boost to the team as they aim to finish the domestic season on a high note and win a title that satisfies the aspirations of the white fans.
