Jose Gomez, the manager of Zamalek’s football team, closely monitored the match between Zamalek and Al Ahly’s U-17 side, which concluded with Al Ahly’s victory of two goals to nil.
The purpose behind Gomez’s keen observation was to evaluate the performance of the youth players in Zamalek’s squad, particularly the newcomer, Mutyaba, who recently joined the ranks during the last winter transfer window.
Gomez emphasized to his assistants that Mutyaba requires more time before being considered for first-team matches and that rushing his integration would not be prudent, especially considering the player’s tender age of 18 years.
It is likely that Jose Gomez will refrain from calling upon the Ugandan player in the upcoming Zamalek match against Ismaily in the Egyptian Premier League scheduled for the 19th of this month.
Zamalek is gearing up to face Ismaily in the league fixture, a match that Ismaily’s board has declared it won’t allow to be broadcasted due to outstanding dues owed by the club to its broadcasting sponsor.
The uncertainty surrounding Mutyaba’s participation in the forthcoming match against Ismaily hints at Gomez’s cautious approach towards integrating the young talent into Zamalek’s senior squad.
As the league campaign progresses, Zamalek’s management will undoubtedly make decisions aimed at nurturing Mutyaba’s development while ensuring the team’s competitive edge on the field.
