Shikabala named in Zamalek's squad for Egyptian Cup semifinal
Zamalek star Shikabala named in the team's squad for the Egyptian Cup semifinal against Haras El-Hodoud despite his latest dressing-room dispute
Published in Ahram Online on 30 - 09 - 2011

Winger Mahmoud Abdel-Razek “Shikabala” has been included in Zamalek's squad for the anticipated Egyptian Cup semifinal against Haras El-Hodoud despite being involved in a dispute with teammate Hani Said
Shikabala, who is struggling to ditch a bad boy image, clashed with newly-signed defender Said during Wednesday's training session. Said was injured in the process after kicking a door while venting his anger.
Reports suggested that Zamalek coach Hassan Shehata would exclude Shikabala from the team's squad for Saturday's clash against El-Hodoud but he eventually pardoned the Egyptian international, who resolved his dispute with Said.
Said joins Zamalek's list of absentees, which also includes suspended duo Ahmed Gaafar and Ibrahim Salah.
Youth defender Mahmoud El-Badry was called up to cover for the absence of former Masry defender Said.
The Cairo giants are eager to end a three-year title drought, having not lifted any trophy since their Egyptian Cup triumph in 2008 under Dutch coach Ruud Krol.
Zamalek squad:
Goalkeepers: Abdel-Wahed El-Sayed , Mahmoud Gennesh.
Defenders: Mahmoud Fathallah, Salah Soliman, Karimu Al-Hassan, Hazem Emam, Mohamed Abdel-Shafy, Ahmed Samir, Mahmoud El-Badry, Sabry Rahil.
Midfielders: Ahmed Hassan, Omar Gaber, Mahmoud Abdel-Razek “Shikabala”, Ahmed El-Merghany, Mahmoud Said, Alaa Aly, Ahmed Tawfik, Mohamed Ibrahim.
Forwards: Amr Zaki, Hussein Hamdy.
