Zamalek out to stop gutsy Masri
omar abdelaziz Published in FilGoal on 24 - 08 - 2008

Zamalek face a tricky test when they host the in-form Masri in the Egyptian league's top clash of the week on Sunday.
The Whites will be aiming to capitalize on Ahli's unusual stuttering in the league so far this season, which does not seem to be a walk in the park for the mighty Reds.
Ghana striker Junior Agogo is fit again after injury and is set to make his league debut with Reiner Hollman's side.
However, the German tactician will decide on weather to rush Agogo into action from the start or give Sherif Ashraf the nod alongside Gamal Hamza.
Holding midfielder Mohamed Aboul-Ella is still suspended by the Egyptian FA, while Brazilian full-back Ricardo serves his second of a three-match ban.
Left-sided defender Osama Hassan is also out after being summoned to military service, as Ahmed Magdi or Ahmed Ghanem could deputize.
Goalkeeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef will remain between the sticks, despite his terrible display with Egypt in last week's 4-0 drubbing at Sudan.
"I am still number one for Zamalek, the Sudan game will not affect my status with the club," Abdul-Monsef told FilGoal.com.

Hassan relying on team spirit
Team Spirit
Hossam Hassan is aiming to maintain his team's perfect start to the season as he eyes another victory against his former club.
The 41-year-old helped Masri clamber out of the relegation zone last term, which included a surprise away win over Zamalek.
Moreover, the usual league strugglers made a stunning start to the new season, thrashing Ittihad 5-2 in Alexandria, before outclassing 33-time champions Ahli.
Masri's start put them in an unfamiliar position of a top-half place in the league, and the relentless Hassan is looking to keep up the team's winning mentality.
"Regardless of the fact that we are facing a big team at home, we are looking for three points against Zamalek," the Egypt icon said.
"We have a side consisted of excited youth and experienced players, and I am sure that the team's spirit can help us get a positive result in Cairo."
Hassan is likely to stick with the same side which won the first two games, inspired by former Ahli men Ahmed Shedid, Akwetey Mensah, Ashour Al-Adham and Ahmed Galal.
