The Egypt ace missed Zamalek's 1-0 win over Baladeya last weekend with a knee injury.

Zaki recently declared that his injury was mainly caused by the artificial turf of Rwanda APR's ground, where Zamalek won 2-1 in the Champions League two weeks ago.

Midfielder Tamer Abdul-Hamid and goalkeeper Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed are also set to miss out on the Ittihad trip as the latter has a groin injury.
