Egyptian League LIVE: Zamalek v Arab Contractors NOV. 26th 2016
Match Info:
Match K.O. at 20:30 Cairo local time
Venue: Petro Sport stadium
Referee: Mohamed Elhanafy
New Zamalek coach Mohamed Salah, who took over at the club on an interim basis more than once, would remain at the helm as he gets ready for his second game in charge when Zamalek take on Arab Contractors on Saturday.
The 2015 league and cup winners were managed by six coaches last season, including two in caretaker roles, as they faltered midway through the season to allow arch-rivals Ahly to wrap up a ninth league title in 10 seasons.
With Zamalek unlikely to appoint a new foreign coach because of financial problems, options look limited. Hossam Hassan, a former Ahly and Zamalek hero and Egypts all-time leading scorer, is among the favourites to take over should Mansour opt to dispense with Salah.
For now, Salah will be looking to quickly get over the draw against Ismaily with a win over Contractors and he was boosted by the return from a lengthy layoff of playmaker Mohamed Ibrahim, who has been out since suffering a serious knee injury in a Champions League group-stage clash against Mamelodi Sundowns last July.
Winger Mostafa Fathi, dubbed a super sub, will not be available and is expected to be out until the end of the year due to a knee injury he picked up early this month.
