Zamalek will be without suspended trio Ahmed Hassan, Razak Omotoyossi and Salah Soliman.
Burkina Faso striker Abdoulaye Cisse could make his debut for the Whites as newly-signed Egypt keeper Ahmed Al-Shennawi is also in the squad.
Shikabala, who has been Zamalek’s star player for the past few years, will be watching from home after he had been left out of the team’s squad following his infamous rift with Shehata.
Chelsea manager Hans van der Pluijm
“We are hoping to win and win convincingly. We can only achieve that by taking our chances. Also, we want to begin our campaign on a good note, by grabbing all the three points.
“Big names do not win football matches, big hearts do. We will give it our best shot.”
Chelsea star Emmanuel Clottey
“I am ready to bang in the goals. There is no pressure on me or the team. It is more or less like playing against Kotoko or Hearts of Oak.
“I am the leading goal scorer in the competition at the moment, and so my wish is to score more goals to win the Golden Boot.”
Zamalek manager Hassan Shehata
“I promise Zamalek fans we’ll do our best to win against Chelsea in order to keep on going in Africa.”
