Hossam Hassan, the Egyptian national team coach, has decided to include three Zamalek players in the Pharaohs’ training camp during the November 2025 international break.
The Egyptian national team will play two matches during the November break, the first against Cape Verde and the second against Uzbekistan, as part of an international friendly tournament in the UAE.
According to Egyptian media reports, Hassan has decided to add center-back Mohamed Ismail to the Egyptian national team’s defensive roster for the first time.
At the same time, Hassan will include left-back Ahmed Fatouh after his impressive performances recently, and he also intends to recall Mohamed Shehata, who missed the last two international breaks due to injury.
Hassan is also considering calling up Nabil Emad Donga to bolster the Egyptian national team’s midfield.
The Egyptian coach wants the November break to be an opportunity to test a number of new players, hoping to include some of them in the squad that will travel to Morocco for the Africa Cup of Nations, which begins on December 21.
