Reason for Jafeli's absence from Zamalek SC in recent period

Abdel Nasser Zidan has explained the reason behind Zamalek SC player Ahmed Jafeli's exclusion from recent match considerations. This clarification comes despite the ongoing pressure and calls from the supporters of the White Castle to give him a chance to prove himself on the pitch.

Zinedine Zidane, in statements made on the "Stadium Egypt" program broadcast on Modern MTI, said that Ahmed Jafeli is undergoing a special rehabilitation and fitness program since the start of the season, in order to improve his fitness levels and prepare him for participation with the team.

He added that the player has not yet reached the required physical readiness, despite possessing exceptional technical abilities, which has led the coaching staff not to rush in granting him the opportunity to participate.

It was pointed out that the head coach of Zamalek SC, Mo'tamed Gamal, links Ahmed Jafeli's participation to his commitment to defensive duties; the tactical philosophy of the coaching staff focuses on the necessity for attacking players to support the defense, apply strong pressure on the opponent, and actively contribute to ball recovery.

It was clarified that Zamalek SC fans have demanded through social media to give the player an opportunity to participate, given his exceptional technical abilities. However, the coaching staff insists on preparing him physically and technically before relying on him in matches.
