Zamalek’s Portuguese coach, Jose Peseiro, put the squad through a rigorous physical session during Friday’s training, gearing up for their Egyptian Capital Cup clash against Petrojet on Sunday.
The team was split into two groups, sweating it out under fitness coach Michael Jose’s watchful guidance, before shifting focus to technical and tactical drills.
Abdullah El-Saeed and Mostafa Shalaby, sidelined by injuries, stuck to a tailored rehab plan, jogging laps around the stadium instead of joining the main group. The technical staff designed the program to ease them back into action for upcoming fixtures. Meanwhile, left-back Mohamed Hamdy made a welcome return to full training after shaking off hamstring discomfort, ready to bolster the squad for the weekend showdown.
Tunisian winger Ahmed Al-Jafali also took a step forward, kicking off a fresh phase of his recovery under strength planner Alaa Ragab’s supervision. The goal is to get him back with the team as soon as possible. Zamalek’s camp is buzzing with cautious optimism as key players edge closer to full fitness.
