Amr Zaki played his first game for Zamalek, a testimonial match for El-Tersana's retired player Momen Abdul-Ghafar, after ending an unsuccessful loan spell with English side Hull City. The striker, who has suffered injuries over the past year, was introduced as a second-half substitute in Zamalek's 1-1 draw with Tersana Friday and is poised to freshen up in readiness for Zamalek's Egyptian Cup campaign. Zaki, who spent the first half of the season at Zamalek before joining Hull in January, will be eligible to take part in the Cairo giants' remaining competitive games of the season once he receives his International Transfer Certificate (ITC). Zamalek have all but ensured a second-place finish in the Egyptian Premier League behind champions and arch-rivals Al-Ahly, which will give them a place in next season's African Champions League. Their only chance of silverware this season lies in the Egyptian Cup, which they won in 2008. Zamalek open their campaign against second-division side Fayoum and are expected to face Al-Ahly in the following round.
