Not for Injury: Key Zamalek Player Misses Libya Trip

Zamalek's left-back, Ahmed Fatouh, will miss the club’s trip to Libya for their friendly against Al-Nasr SC on Friday, part of a retirement celebration for Libyan star Khaled Hussein. The team is set to depart on a private flight Wednesday evening, yet Fatouh is confirmed to remain in Cairo due to a scheduled court session on Saturday, November 16, related to an August accident in Alamein that led to the tragic death of a local police officer.

Fatouh is expected to train with other non-traveling squad members at the club’s facilities until the team returns. Meanwhile, one of his defense attorneys revealed that the player has reconciled with the victim’s family, aiming to resolve the matter before the third session in front of the Mersa Matruh Criminal Court. The legal case, however, continues to attract significant media attention due to its implications for the player’s future in the sport.
