After losing 4-2 at Club Africain of Tunisia in the Champions League on Sunday, the team was supposed to go directly to Saudi Arabia for this week's friendly.

However, the Whites' squad returned home on Monday and was expected to fly to Asir province on Tuesday, before their journey was eventually called off.

The Abha friendly was supposed to be part of the farewell of Saudi player Mohamed Abou-Aouad.

Zamalek are seeking to play a couple of friendlies to improve match fitness before the return leg with Africain on the 2nd of April.
