In the meantime, Shabana, aged 27, has returned to the White Knights after his loan to Semouha ended, and will provide a valuable defensive option for Zamalek. This is particularly important as they are currently missing the services of injured players Mahmoud Hamdy, Mostafa El-Zenary, and Ahmed Fatouh.
At 25 years old, Nasser Mansi, who recently joined from NBE club, is also a dependable choice as a striker for Zamalek.
