Zamalek promote seven youth players to first-team training ahead of El Gouna match

Zamalek head coach Moatamed Gamal has promoted seven players from the club’s youth sides to train with the first team as preparations continue for Monday’s Egyptian Premier League meeting with El Gouna.

The teams will meet on 23 November in the ninth round of the competition, with Zamalek currently third in the table on 19 points.

The promoted players included Khaled El-Sayed, Mohamed Osama and Moaz Mohamed, who worked in central defence. Omar Yousry trained as a left-back, while Mohamed Abdel-Wanis operated in midfield.

Moaz Ibrahim and Hossam Ashour El-Taki also joined the session and were used as wingers.

Zamalek’s training programme also included rehabilitation work for Mahmoud Bentayg, Ahmed Abdel Rahim “Isho” and Mohamed Ibrahim. The programme was supervised by first-team doctor Mohamed Osama, with the aim of preparing the trio to return to full team training as soon as possible.

Mohamed El-Sayed is at the final stage of his rehabilitation programme and is also being prepared to rejoin collective training.
