Zamalek manager Henri Michel has excluded forward Gamal Hamza and midfielder Moetazbellah Mohamed 'Eno' from the squad traveling to Sudan for the CAF Champions League match against Hilal. The two players had fallen out with the coaching staff and the French manager opted to exclude them from the squad to avoid further problems and bring stability to the team ahead of the important clash. Michel had named a 19-man squad that will travel to Khartoum where Zamalek will face Sudanese giants Hilal in the first-leg of the Champions League round of 32 on Sunday. Among the absentees from Zamalek's contingent were Wael Al-Qabani and Amr Zaki who are still nursing injuries and Tunisian defender Wissem El-Abdi who is not enrolled in the African squad. Zamalek's delegation, which will be headed by club board member Omar Haridi, will leave to Sudan early on Friday.
