Ruud Krol has included Jordanian defender Khaled Saad in Zamalek s 19-man squad for the league game against Arab Contractors on Wednesday.

The Jordan defender, who signed from Faisali last summer, has been rarely selected by Krol since the first day 1-0 defeat to Ismaili.

Saad s inclusion comes at the expense of Tunisian stopper Yamen Ben Zekri.

Injured duo Alaa Abdel Ghani and Hazem Emam failed to make the squad, while under-fire striker Amr Zaki is serving a 2-week ban by the club.

Zamalek are in fourth place with 17 points in the Egyptian league, trailing leaders Al-Gaish by six points.
