Zamalek will have to do without influential goalkeeper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed when they visit Leopards of Congo, while Ahmed Hassan has refused to travel. Skipper Abdul-Wahed couldn't make the squad after failing to obtain his travel clearances to the Central African country. His absence leaves Zamalek with the only option of handing the inexperienced Mahmoud Abdul-Rahim ‘Gennesh' a rare start. On the other hand, midfielder Hassan has not been included in Helmi Toulan's list because of his unpaid wages, FilGoal.com understands. Even though he has just signed a new one-year deal, the 38-year-old refused to join the Whites squad as his problem with the club's board continues to grow. The double blow leaves Zamalek with a squad of just 17 players including the two goalkeepers and a couple of youngsters. The Whites have one point after holding defending champions Ahli to a 1-1 draw in the first round of the group stage.
