Zamalek have made a bold decision to exclude star winger Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” from the squad set to face South Africa’s Stellenbosch in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinal.
The surprising move comes amid intense speculation that Zizo has signed a deal with Zamalek’s arch-rivals, Al Ahly. While no official confirmation has been made, the rumors have increased significantly, raising speculations about the player’s future at the club.
Zizo’s omission is a clear sign that his time with Zamalek is nearing its end, with a transfer to Al Ahly seemingly on the horizon. The decision could be seen as a major boost for Stellenbosch, as Zizo is regarded as Zamalek’s top attacking threat.
Zamalek will host Stellenbosch at 4:00 PM GMT on Wednesday. The first leg ended in a goalless draw, leaving everything to play for in the return fixture.
