Moutamed Gamal is expected to hold a meeting with the players before training begins to explain the preparation program for the match and finalize the team’s tactical plans during the days leading up to the game.

The training sessions will be particularly important in determining the final shape of the lineup, especially after Ahmed Hassan revealed Bentayg’s return to the starting XI.

🔥 Zamalek vs Ghazl El Mahalla: Match Time

Zamalek will travel to face Ghazl El Mahalla at 8:00 PM on Wednesday at El Mahalla Stadium in the fifth round of the Egyptian Premier League.

The big question remains: Can Bentayg’s return prove to be the key to a stronger Zamalek performance against Ghazl El Mahalla and help the team secure all three points? ⭐
