Egyptian sports commentator Karem Ramzy has revealed an expected surprise in the lineup of Zamalek's first football team in their upcoming match against Al Ahly. The match is set to take place on Sunday at Cairo International Stadium as part of the sixth round of the Egyptian League. Ramzy made these comments during an appearance on the "From Cairo" program broadcast on "On Sport Max" channel.
According to Ramzy, Mohammed Hamad, a youth national team player, is likely to be a significant surprise in the lineup chosen by Zamalek's manager, Motaebed Jamal. Hamad may start in the main lineup or participate in part of the match. Ramzy emphasized that Jamal is fully convinced of Hamad's abilities, who plays as a winger and an attacking midfielder.
Ramzy also discussed the dilemma faced by Zamalek's manager in selecting the midfield players. With the rest of the lineup remaining unchanged, Jamal is reportedly unsure whether to start with Abdullah Al-Saeed, Mohamed Shalata, and Ahmed Fattouh or to choose Al-Saeed, Shalata, and Ahmed Rabie, while keeping Fattouh on the bench. Ramzy noted that Mahmoud Bentayj is expected to start, and Jamal may opt for the second choice to add strength to the team.
