All three had been sidelined through injury in recent weeks: Shikabala, 39, was nursing a knee problem; Fatouh, 27, had a calf issue; and Shehata, 24, was out with a muscular strain.
Their return offers a timely lift for newly appointed coach Ayman El-Ramady, who faces a stern test against title-chasing Pyramids on Tuesday in the Egyptian Premier League playoff round.
El-Ramady began his tenure on Friday with a 2–2 draw against Ceramica Cleopatra, leaving Zamalek third in the table on 41 points—six behind Pyramids and eight adrift of leaders and arch rivals Ahly.
