Amr Zaki denied from training
Zamalek technical staff denied Amr Zaki from training with the team this morning without any specific reasons.

"I went to the club this morning and I was surprised to see my name among a list of players who are not allowed to train with the team," Zaki told FilGoal.com on Sunday.

The 23-year-old striker thinks it is maybe because he asked to be transferred for a European club at the end of the season.

"President Mamdouh Abbas promised to keep me with the team as long as possible. I asked Ayman Mansour (director of football) to leave at the end of the season as I was promised before"

During the press conference held on Sunday to announce the renewal of Henri Michel's contract, Abbas confirmed that he won't allow any transfers at the end of the season specially the good ones such as Amr Zaki.

The Zamalek star received an offer from English side Sheffield United in January but the board declined it and promised Zaki to be released at the end of the season.

"I talked to Michel and he said to me that no one is going to leave the club except those he won't need or someone who gets a good offer in a strong European league. And that's my case and he said he has nothing against it."

The former Mansoura and ENPPI striker joined Zamalek last summer after spending a three month deceiving spell at Lokomotiv Mosow.

"I am not going to be a card in the hands of any of the candidates for the new elections. I want to play and to move forward in my career. Anyway for the moment I won't go to the club until somebody clarifies me about my situation."
