The Jordan defender, who signed from Faisali last summer, has been rarely selected by Krol since the first day 1-0 defeat to Ismaili.

Saad's inclusion comes at the expense of Tunisian stopper Yamen Ben Zekri.

Injured duo Alaa Abdul-Ghani and Hazem Emam failed to make the squad, while under-fire striker Amr Zaki is serving a 2-week ban by the club.

Zamalek are in fourth place with 17 points in the Egyptian league, trailing leaders Al-Gaish by six points.
