Seifeddine Jaziri works on recovery as Yannick Ferreira leaves him out of Al Masry clash

Seifeddine Jaziri continued his path back to full fitness with special rehabilitation training at Borg El Arab Stadium while his Zamalek teammates prepared to meet Al Masry of Port Said in the Egyptian Premier League.

The Tunisian striker was not named in the squad by Belgian coach Yannick Ferreira for Saturday’s sixth-round game, a decision that underlined the focus on protecting Jaziri’s long-term role in the team. Under the supervision of fitness coach Mario Tomljanovic, the forward went through targeted recovery drills aimed at sharpening his strength and movement.

Supporters hoping to see him back in action will need patience, as the club places priority on ensuring he returns ready to contribute at his best. Jaziri remains an important figure in the Zamalek attack, and his teammates know his absence leaves a gap in experience and finishing power.

Zamalek enters the contest with 10 points from five matches, sitting just behind Al Masry who have collected 11 points. The clash promises to be tightly contested, even without Jaziri leading the front line.
