When the Injuries Stack Up: Zamalek's Four Hit by ZED Clash
Injury concerns mount for Zamalek after the ZED clash.

Injury Update for Zamalek's Four Players

The club's medical staff revealed details of injuries to four players—Omar Gaber, Ahmed Abdel Rahim 'Isho', Ali Abdel Meguid, and Youssef Wael 'French'—during Sunday's match against ZED in the Capital Cup.

The medical staff confirmed on the club's official site that Gaber suffered a knee injury and will undergo tests in the coming hours to determine his condition.

Further Updates

It noted that Ahmed Abdel Rahim 'Isho' suffered a strain in the adductor muscle, while Ali Abdel Meguid sustained a hamstring strain, and Youssef Wael 'French' complained of a calf strain.

ZED clinched a valuable 1-0 victory over Zamalek on Sunday evening at Cairo Stadium, as part of the League Cup group-stage fixtures.

In the 29th minute, Ahmed Kabaka exploited a defensive lapse to score past goalkeeper Mahdi Suleiman.

Punchline: If injuries keep piling up, perhaps they'll sign a fitness coach as a new midfielder. Punchline 2: The only thing more fragile than their defense is my espresso after a 0-1 loss.
