CAIRO: The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) will a hold a hearing on Monday, which will focus on Mohamed “Shikabala Abdel Razek s ongoing transfer wrangle between Zamalek and PAOK Saloniki.

The CAS posted on its official website a schedule of the hearings which will take place in April and May. The sessions are not open to the public.

Zamalek want a lenient verdict after appealing the CAS decision to ban the player for six months and hand him a 990,000 euros fine.

The punishment came after the 22-year-old winger made a contested move to Zamalek from Greek side PAOK in 2006.

Zamalek s action was motivated by the fact that the talented player could not leave Egypt due to military service.

Shikabala is one of Zamalek s key members. He scored three goals this season and played a key role in the team s progress to the Egyptian Cup final, where they will face ENPPI in May.
