Zamalek newly-signed striker Razak Omotoyossi would be eligible to feature for the Whites in the Egyptian Cup final should they march through, but will not be able to play in the semi-final versus Harras Hodoud. The Benin international signed a three-year deal from Swedish club Syrianska but would only be available starting the first of October, a date that coincides with the Hodoud tie. However, the 25-year-old will not be able to take part in the clash as Syrianska refused to let him go ahead of a crucial league fixture against Djurgardens, one day prior to Zamalek's cup game. “Syrianska refused to let Omotoyossi leave as they need him to take part in a league match on Friday,” Zamalek chairman Galal Ibrahim told FilGoal.com. “He would be able to feature for us following the game.” The Cairo Giants are suffering a lack of options upfront with Ahmed Gaafar suspended for the encounter and Mido still struggling to reach full fitness. Manager Hassan Shehata-who eyes an Egyptian Cup title as his first triumph at the helm- has Amr Zaki and Hussein Hamdi as the only fit and recognized frontmen at his disposal.
