Zamalek’s head coach, Moataz Gamal, took a moment to confer with Mustafa Shalaby, a player on the team, following an injury sustained at Monday’s training session.
The incident occurred towards the end of the practice session.
The coaching staff, led by Moataz Gamal, sought to ascertain the extent of Shalaby’s injury.
The player, in response to the coach’s inquiry, affirmed that it was a minor bruise that would not impede his participation in upcoming training sessions and matches.
The Zamalek team is set to engage in a friendly match tomorrow, Tuesday, at the club’s stadium in Mita Akhbarah.
Their opponents for this encounter will be the youth team from Kuwait.
The coaching staff at Zamalek utilizes these friendly matches to finely tune the players both physically and tactically during the hiatus in the league due to the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations hosted in Cote d’Ivoire.
This strategic use of friendly encounters allows the team to maintain their competitive edge and readiness for the challenges that lie ahead.
In the wake of Shalaby’s assurance that his injury is inconsequential, the focus for Zamalek remains on their preparations for upcoming fixtures.
The coaching staff emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimal physical and technical conditions as they navigate through this period of league suspension.
With the continental tournament unfolding in Cote d’Ivoire, Zamalek aims to keep their squad in peak form, ready to resume league action when it recommences.
