Zamalek will be missing several key players in Sunday's CAF Champions League group stage round two against AC Leopards de Dolisie in Congo.

The Cairo-based club will have to do without midfielders Nour El-Sayed and Salah Soliman due to suspension.

"The technical staff will announce the 18-squad for the Congo trip as the choices are limited," White's club assistant coach Osama Nabih told the official website Tuesday.

"We are hoping that no more players get inured ahead of the anticipated match," he added.

The delegation is supposed to fly to Congo early Thursday.

Each team in Group A gained a point in the first round, as Zamalek drew with arch-rivals Ahly 1-1 on Wednesday and the Leopards held by a goalless draw with South Africa's Orlando Pirates.
