Zamalek assistant coach Momen Soliman said that Ayman Abdul-Aziz regained the skipper's armband after apologizing for crossing the line with the coaching staff. The veteran midfielder refused to be benched in Zamalek's game against Harass Al-Hodoud weeks ago, and was punished and excluded from the match squad as a result. Moreover, the 29-year-old was stripped off captaincy for two successive games. But he eventually got it back when he settled things with the technical staff. "He admitted making a mistake and apologized, hence the problem was over," Soliman told a press conference on Saturday. Abdul-Aziz returned to action in Saturday's 3-1 victory over police Union when he came on as a second-half substitute.
