Zamalek coach Hossam Hassan has once dropped Ahmed Ghanem from the squad facing Harras Hodoud on Thursday. Ghanem, who was first-choice right-back during the first half of the season, was vastly criticized after the Whites' 4-2 Champions League defeat at Club Africain last month. He was then dropped from the second leg of the round of 32 tie as Hassan relied on Hazem Emam on the right flank. January signing Mido is set to make a returning debut for his old club, but striker Amr Zaki is ruled out with a knee problem. Egypt U-20 trio Mohamed Ibrahim, Omar Gaber and Ahmed Tawfik couldn't make the squad, while defender Hani Saied is suspended. Zamalek squad Goalkeepers: Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, Mostafa Abdul-Sattar Defenders: Mahmoud Fathallah, Amr Al-Safti, Ahmed Samir, Mohamed Younes, Mohamed Abdul-Shafi, Ahmed Kattawi Midfielders: Hassan Mostafa, Ibrahim Salah, Shikabala, Hossam Arafat, Ashour Al-Adham, Hazem Emam, Alaa Ali Strikers: Ahmed Gafaar, Abou Kone, Mido, Hussein Yasser
