The exclusion of Zamalek player Ahmed Hamdi from the list of Modern Sport in the third round of the Egyptian Premier League, caused great controversy within the sports circles, where reliable sources inside the club revealed that the decision came due to the file of renewing the player’s contract that was not decided yet. We learned that one of the Pyramids club officials entered into negotiations with Hamdi recently, which sparked reservations by the Zamalek administration.

In this context, John Edward, a member of the Football Committee in Zamalek, expressed his complete rejection of the idea of ​​the participation of a player who is close to completing his contract and is still not committed to renewing with the White Castle, especially with the presence of negotiations with a competing club, and Edward stressed that preparing the player at this stage may be in the interest of other clubs at the expense of Zamalek, which prompted the committee to take a decision to freeze the player and not involve him in the matches until things are clear.

The source believes that the absence of Ahmed Hamdi may extend for a short period, unless the player agrees with the club to renew his contract, as the administration prefers not to risk preparing a player who will move outside the team for free, especially in light of the intense competition in the Egyptian league for the positions and titles.

Zamalek is preparing for a difficult confrontation against Modern Sport at nine in the evening, where the two teams are equal with 4 points, which makes the match a pivotal in the league race, and this file raises questions about how Zamalek managed to renew the renewal crises with its most prominent players, and the extent of the impact of this policy on the stability and performance of the team.
