The Cairo club have just played against Tunisia’s Club Africain in the CAF Champions League, losing 4-2 in Tunis on Sunday.

“The players who were not in the Africain-match squad will join the team in Saudi Arabia,” Zamalek marketing director Ashraf Sobhi said.

Zamalek’s next fixture will be the return leg of the Africain match at the beginning of April, a few weeks before resuming the Egyptian Premier League campaign by the end of next month.
