Zamalek named Hussein Yasser in their squad for Friday's Egyptian Premier League trip to Wadi Degla, few hours after the forward was recalled by Qatar for the AFC Asian Cup.

The 28-year-old, who has dual Egyptian-Qatari nationality, fell out with the Whites last month when the Gulf team included him in their squad for the 20th Gulf Cup of Nations.

At the time, the Cairo club protested against the inclusion of Yasser in Qatar's roster because the Gulf Cup is not accredited by world governing body FIFA.

The former Ahli man had his shoulder dislocated while on international duty in the regional competition, an injury that added fuel to fire.

The dispute between Zamalek and Qatar was finally ended after top officials from both sides met, with Bruno Metsu's side promising to pay Yasser's medical bills.

However, officials from Zamalek and Qatar are expected to once again be at each other's throats in the immediate future after his fresh call-up.

Zamalek are looking to beat Degla in order to ensure their position on top of the league table ahead of their anticipated clash with Ahli on November 30th.

Duo Hassan Mostafa and Sabri Rahil were excluded from Zamalek's squad through injury.

Zamalek's squad:

Goalkeepers: Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, Mostafa Abdul-Sattar

Defenders: Hani Saied, Mahmoud Fathallah, Amr Al-Safti, Mohamed Younes, Hazem Emam, Ahmed Ghanem, Omar Gaber, Mohamed Abdul-Shafi

Midfielders: Hassan Mostafa, Ibrahim Salah, Ahmed Tawfik, Ashour Al-Adham, Shikabala, Hussein Yasser, Hossam Arafat, Mohamed Ibrahim

Strikers: Ahmed Gaafar, Abou Kone
