Zamalek right back Hazem Emam and goalie Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed have been ruled out of Thursday's league match against Petrojet through injury. The White Knights have announced a provisional squad for their encounter with the Petroleum side, and the injured pair was left out. Al-Sayed sustained a calf knock during Zamelek's League opener against ENPPI, and he's still incapable of returning to action. Emam, who sat out Egypt's friendly against Guinea last week with a hamstring strain, was kept out because of the same problem. The talented winger got married two days ago, but he was planning to play against Petrojet. Zamalek's 22-man list will be shrunk within the next couple of days, as five players have to be eliminated.
Emam (L) Zamalek's squad: Goalkeepers: Mohamed Abdul-Monsef – Emad Al-Sayed. Defenders: Mahmoud Fathallah – Hani Saeid – Amr Al-Safti – Amr Adel – Ahmed Magdi. Midfielders: Ahmed Ghanem – Ibrahim Ayew – Sabri Rahil – Mohamed Abdul-Shafi – Hassan Mostafa – Ahmed Abdul-Raouf – Ahmed Al-Merghani – Ibrahim Salah – Shikabala – Alaa Ali. Strikers: Amr Zaki – Mido – Sherif Ashraf – Sayed Mosaad – Ahmed Gaafar.
