Rahil is out of favor this season, despite being used regularly as a substitute last term by manager Hossam Hassan.

Hassan always opts for international left-back Mohamed Abdul-Shafi, who was described by football director Ibrahim Hassan as "God's gift to the club."

"I respect the manager and has no problem with his choices," Rahil told FilGoal.com.

"All I want to know is whether I will be needed here next season or not, because I don't want to be at the same place again."

Rahil's contract with Zamalek runs in June 2013.

"If Hossam Hassan still wants me, then I will stay for sure. I only want to be told of my role within the team," he added.
