Zamalek playmaker Shikabala has been ruled out of Thursday's league game with Ittihad through injury. Henri Michel, who has been recently reappointed as the Cairo side's coach, named his provisional squad for the match, and the 23-year-old wasn't included as he hasn't reached full recovery yet. Shikabala was injured in Zamalek's 2-2 draw with Arab Contractors on August 24th. He was also left out of Egypt's squad for last weekend's World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. Fringe goalie Emad Al-Sayed was omitted from Michel's squad due to injury as well. Three players will be excluded from the 21-man list on Wednesday. Zamalek lie sixth in the Egyptian Premier League table with four points, while Ittihad are in penultimate place on a sole point. Zamalek's provisional squad: Goalkeepers: Mohamed Abdul-Monsef – Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed. Defenders: Hani Saied – Amr Al-Safti – Amr Adel – Ahmed Ghanem – Hazem Emam – Sabri Rahil. Midfielders: Ahmed Magdi – Mohamed Abdul-Shafi – Ibrahim Ayew – Ahmed Al-Merghani – Hasssan Mostafa – Ahmed Abdul-Raouf – Ibrahim Salah – Rémi Adiko. Strikers: Sherif Ashraf – Ahmed Gaafar – Sayed Mosaad – Amr Zaki – Mido.
