Razak Omotoyossi will make his debut for Zamalek when they take on Military Production in Suez on Friday.
Benin striker Omotoyossi was named in Zamalek�s 18-man list for the first time since joining the team
He replaces striker Hamdi who is struggling with a back problem, while midfielder Al-Merghani was left out due to a groin injury.
Amr Zaki is Zamalek�s only reliable striker, with the likes of Ahmed Gaafar and new signing Hussein Hamdy failing to impress as his partners up front.
Ahmed Hossam �Mido�, who scored on his first appearance since joining Zamalek last January when the team thrashed Ghazl El-Mahalla 6-1 in their opening game of the season, is still suffering from fitness and weight problems.
He missed training for two days without permission, prompting Zamalek to fine him.
