Zamalek defender Mohamed Younes was left baffled by manager Hossam Hassan's decision to drop him from the match against Gaish, reacting sarcastically to the snub. “I can't see a reason why I've been left out after playing well against Police Union. I can only say it's a comic decision!” Younes, who is linked with Sudan's Hilal, told FilGoal.com. “No one talked to me about it, which made me more astonished. It is just illogical and if things remain like that I will consider my options by the end of the season.” Younes joined Zamalek on a free transfer from Telecom Egypt last summer, but has only featured in a couple of matches for the Whites.
Emam return Meanwhile, wing-back Hazem Emam says he has been promised to return to action despite the decision of football director Ibrahim Hassan to suspend him until the end of the season. The 22-year-old has been relegated to train with the youth team after throwing his shirt in anger during a friendly match with Goldi, even so it seems he will be reprieved. “The management wanted me to play with the youth team against Harras Hodoud on Sunday ahead of making my first-team return,” Emam said. Emam has been involved in several controversies since emerging a future Zamalek star a couple of seasons ago.
