Seven Zamalek Absences Against Ghazl El Mahalla 🔥
The reasons behind Zamalek’s absences vary, with some players ruled out because of injuries, others continuing their rehabilitation programs, and several others left out due to technical decisions.
Zamalek’s unavailable players are:
- Mohamed El-Sayed: due to a foot injury.
- Ahmed Abdel Rahim “Icho”: due to a muscular injury.
- Amr Nasser: continuing his rehabilitation program after injury.
- Seif Farouk Gaafar: for technical reasons.
- Mohamed Sobhi: due to the goalkeeping rotation policy.
- Ahmed El-Gefaly: continuing his rehabilitation program until he reaches the required level of readiness.
- Juan Bezerra: due to the dispute related to his absence from training.
Injuries and Fitness Levels Behind Several Absences 📢
Part of Zamalek’s absence list is related to the coaching staff’s decision not to rush players who have yet to reach full physical readiness, particularly those still undergoing rehabilitation after injuries.
Continuing the rehabilitation programs gives the coaching staff an opportunity to prepare the players gradually rather than risking their participation before they are fully ready.
At the same time, some absences reflect technical decisions made for the match, in addition to the rotation policy being used in the goalkeeper position, which has left Mohamed Sobhi out of the plans against Ghazl El Mahalla.
Juan Bezerra Misses the Match
Juan Bezerra will not take part in Zamalek’s match against Ghazl El Mahalla because of the ongoing dispute surrounding his absence from training, with the issue continuing to affect his availability for the match.
His absence means the coaching staff will have to identify suitable alternatives, particularly given the importance of the fixture and Zamalek’s desire to maintain its positive start to the season.
Zamalek Aim to Remain Among the Top Teams 🏆
Zamalek enter the Ghazl El Mahalla match in fourth place in the Egyptian Premier League with 10 points, having won three matches and drawn one.
The White Knights are seeking another victory to continue their positive results and maintain their position among the teams near the top of the table, especially with the points gap remaining tight in the early rounds of the competition.
