Abdallah El Said Returns to Zamalek Squad as Banza, Hossam Ashraf Push for Starts Against Suez Petrojet
Zamalek head coach Moatamed Gamal is considering several changes to his starting lineup for Monday’s clash against Suez Petrojet at Cairo International Stadium in the third round of the Egyptian Premier League.
The possible changes come after several players impressed during Zamalek’s 3-0 victory over National Bank of Egypt, giving the coaching staff more options as the White Knights look to claim a second consecutive league win.
Hossam Ashraf and Chico Banza are among the leading candidates to start after making a strong impact in the previous match.
Banza scored Zamalek’s opening goal against National Bank of Egypt, while Hossam Ashraf came off the bench to score the second, strengthening their chances of being included in the starting lineup for the next fixture.
The coaching staff is assessing several attacking options, with Banza expected to receive more playing time after being gradually introduced in recent matches, while Hossam Ashraf’s form and readiness have also pushed him closer to a starting role.
Meanwhile, Abdallah El Said is closing in on his first appearance for Zamalek this season after missing the opening two league matches against Al Ittihad Alexandria and National Bank of Egypt due to fitness concerns.
El Said has shown encouraging signs in recent training sessions after completing his rehabilitation program, increasing his chances of returning to the match squad and giving Moatamed Gamal another option in midfield.
The Zamalek coaching staff will make its final lineup decision after assessing the players during the final training sessions and reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents.
Zamalek head into the match with four points after a goalless draw against Al Ittihad Alexandria in the opening round and a 3-0 victory over National Bank of Egypt in their second game, as they look to secure another win and continue their positive start to the league campaign.
