Zamalek’s temporary head coach Tarek Yehia named on Wednesday his 21- man squad for the upcoming clash against Decadaha in CAF Champions League.
The White Knights will kick off their campaign in the tournament on Friday, August 16 at Burj Al-Arab Stadium (21:00 CLT).
The squad witnessed the absence of Mustafa Fathi, Tarek Hamed, Ferjani Sassi, Abdullah Gomaa, Ayman Hefni, and Mohamed Ounajem.
