Shikabala: needs to improve

Shikabala and Junior Agogo were both called up by Zamalek coach Michel Decastel for the team's Egyptian Premier League game against Telecom Egypt on Monday.

Shikabala, who was earlier ruled out of the game after coming off injured against Masri on Wednesday, made a remarkable comeback and will be ready to feature against Telecom.

The winger took part in Zamalek's training session on Saturday and his persistence to shake off the injury earned him a place in Decastel's team.

Ghanaian striker Agogo was named for the game after two games of absence, where he was omitted from the team for disciplinary reasons.

While midfielder Mohamed Abdullah will also be part of the squad, forward Sherif Ashraf was excluded despite starting against both Masri and Ittihad.

Zamalek are currently lying in a dreadful tenth place with 22 points, and the White Knights will be hoping to start turning their season around with a win against Telecom.

Zamalek's squad:

Goalkeepers: Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, Mohamed >Abdul-Monsef.

Defenders: Ahmed Magdi, Hani Saied, Amr Al-Safti, Ibrahim Salah, Ahmed Abdul-Raouf.

Midfielders: Mohamed Aboul-Ella, Ahmed Al-Merghani, Hazem Emam, Ahmed Ghanem, Amr Adel, Mohamed Abdullah, Shikabala.

Strikers: Mohamed Al-Morsi, Junior Agogo, Gamal Hamza.
