Bentayg to miss Zamalek against Djibouti champions in CAF Champions League

Moroccan Mahmoud Bentayg, the left-back for Zamalek SC, will miss his team's match against AS Port in the first leg of the CAF Champions League preliminary round due to suspension.

Zamalek SC will face AS Port from Djibouti next Friday, September 4, in the first leg of the preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.

Mahmoud Bentayg received a red card in the match against USM Alger in the first leg of the African Confederation Cup final last season, which caused him to miss the return leg against the Algerian team. The suspension continues, meaning he will also miss the first match in the CAF Champions League this season.

Zamalek SC secured a 2-1 victory over Petrojet on Monday evening in the third round of the Egyptian League.
