Ahmed Al-Jafali will not be present in Zamalek's first friendly match against Modern Sport due to his commitment to the rehabilitation program.

Tunisian player Ahmed El-Jafali, who plays for the first team of Zamalek SC, was unable to participate in the team's first friendly match against Modern Sport due to undergoing a gradual rehabilitation program in preparation for his return to competitive play with the team.

The Zamalek coaching staff, led by Moataz Gamal, is working on preparing El-Jafali both physically and technically, especially since the player has not participated in any matches since returning to the squad. The coaching staff preferred to give him enough time to regain full fitness before including him in matches.

Ahmed El-Jafali is expected to have the opportunity to participate in Zamalek's second friendly match against Eastern Company on Sunday, October 4, at Petro Sport Stadium, as part of the coaching staff's plan to gradually prepare the player.

Zamalek to Play Two Friendlies

The Zamalek coaching staff has decided to play two friendly matches during the break to maintain the players' readiness and prepare those who do not regularly get playing time, in anticipation of upcoming commitments.

Zamalek will begin its friendlies by facing Modern Sport on Sunday, September 27, at the Cairo International Stadium's training ground, before concluding its friendly matches against ENPPI on October 4.

This is part of the team's preparations for their upcoming match against ZED in the Cairo Capital Cup, as well as gearing up for their domestic and continental commitments in the near future.

El-Jafali joined Zamalek's preparation period late, prompting the coaching staff to create a special rehabilitation program for him to gradually improve his physical and technical levels before granting him permission to participate in matches.
