Zamalek have been inconsistent in their domestic league campaign, falling a staggering 11 points behind defending champions Ahly, who also have a game in hand.

Their only realistic hope lies in finishing second to earn an African Champions League spot next season.

El-Hodoud will be seeking to end a three-match winless run in the league. They lie 10th in the table with 18 points.

Carteron left main striker Mostafa Mohamed out of Zamalek’s squad for the game. Influential central midfielder Ferjani Sassi is also rested but the team welcomes back Moroccan playmaker Achraf Bencharki after he recovered from injury.

Zamalek’s French coach Patrice Carteron is likely to field a weakened side against Haras El-Hodoud in Wednesday’s league match, less than 10 days before the team meet Tunisia’s Esperance in the African Super Cup in Qatari capital Doha.

They also face Cairo rivals Ahly in the domestic Super Cup in the United Arab Emirates on 20 February.
