Coach Hassan Shehata named 24 players for next month's qualifier in Zambia, with Amr Zaki returning to the squad for the first time since March. Zamalek striker Zaki has been struggling with a hamstring injury in recent months, which forced Shehata to rule him out of his plans of late. The list also included the name of Ahli center-half Sherif Abdul-Fadil, who makes the national team roster for the first time since joining the Cairo club. In-form Gaish striker Salah Amin was handed his first call-up as Mido and Mohamed Zidan remained out of contention. Injured trio Mahmoud Fathallah, Emad Meteb and Al-Sayed Hamdi are out of the qualifier scheduled for October 10th in Lusaka. Middlesbrough midfielder Mohamed Shawky is suspended, but Ismaili skipper Mohamed Hommos is back again after recovering from injury.
