According to the tournament's regulations, the Kuwaiti club can register up to three foreigners in their squad.

Koljanin has opted to leave out Samaka and include Omani duo Essam Fayel and Younis Al Mushaifri in addition to Moroccan player Saied Al-Kharazi.

Samaka's appearances with Kazma will be restricted to local competitions.

The 24-year-old forward has joined Kazma from Ahli Last January on a three-and-half year deal for $150,000.

The Egyptian champions decided to release him after he was hit by a six-month ban for failing a doping test following a CAF Champions League encounter.
