"Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed will play against Ghazl Al-Mahalla on Thursday as he needs more match practice," Helmi told FilGoal.com.

Al-Sayed was back to action after spending two months on the sidelines with a knee injury as the Whites beat Suez Cement 4-3 last Monday.

Meanwhile, injured duo Amr Zaki and Beshir Al-Tabei have totally recovered and are ready to play in Thursday's game.

The game will be played at Tanta as the city of Mahalla has been witnessing security problems in recent weeks.
