Zamalek will have to do without midfield duo Ahmed Abdul-Raouf and Ahmed Al-Merghani when they face Tersana in the Egyptian Premier League on Friday. Abdul-Raouf is out through injury while Al-Merghani will miss the game due to suspension after picking up three yellow cards. Both players were the preferred partnership of coach Michel Decastel in Zamalek's midfield during the past four matches. Newly-arrived midfielder Ibrahim Salah, who took part in Zamalek's 1-1 draw with Telecom Egypt in their last league game, may be given a starting berth. Veteran striker Abdul-Halim Ali was left out of the Cairo giants' squad after failing to repay Decastel's faith in him as he wasted many clear-cut opportunities during the recent matches. Off-form striker Sherif Ashraf, who missed the Telecom encounter, regained his place in the squad. Zamalek, who are struggling at the wrong end of the table, will be looking to end their five-match winless streak at the expense of bottom side Tersana. Zamalek squad: Goalkeepers: Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, Mohamed Abdul-Monsef Defenders: Hani Saied, Mahmoud Fathallah, Ahmed Magdi, Amr Al-Safti, Ahmed Ghanem, Mohamed Abdullah, Sabri Rahil, Hazem Emam Midfielders: Alaa Ali, Ibrahim Salah, Mahmoud Samir, Mohamed Aboul-Ella, Shikabala Strikers: Sherif Ashraf, Junior Agogo, Mohamed Al-Morsi, Gamal Hamza
