The Whites have run out of frontline options after Junior Agogo was handed a three-match ban due to improper conduct in the 0-0 draw at Petrojet.
"Hamza will remain suspended, even if we have to face Ahli with the youth team," he told Filgoal.com.
"We are going to stand firm on disciplinary action under any circumstances. It's more important than the Cairo derby itself."
With first-choice strike partners out, coach Reiner Hollmann's selections are now limited to Sherif Ashraf, Mostafa Gaafar and Abdul-Halim Ali.
Hamza, who scored a considerable share of goals against Ahli in recent years, has been indefinitely suspended along with Osama Hassan and Mohamed Aboul-Ella.
Foreign duo Ricardo and Wissem El-Abdi are also out of favor at the moment as they look set to leave the club in the near future.
