"We warned him off receiving cards during the Zamalek game," assistant coach Mahmoud Saleh told FilGoal.com. "He has a hot temper that he needs to control."

The petroleum outfit, who are fifth in the league table, are seeking to secure a top-four place.

On the other hand, the Whites are aiming to stay at the summit. They snatched a dramatic 2-1 win over Petrojet in their last league match.

Zamalek are six points clear of closest rivals and title holders Ahli.
