"Saad needs to play more games to restore his form. He has been out for a long period and needs match practice," Helmi said after the game.

"The fans must ease the pressure on the players who are playing now because we are trying to help them recover their forms,” added the former Zamalek player.

The Whites defeated Tersana 1-0 courtesy to a late strike from Ahmed Raouf.

“Seeing the players’ fatigue, I am happy with the result and the performance. We improved in the second half and claimed the full points of the game.”

Zamalek are second of the table with 53 points.
