Zamalek head coach Yannick Ferrera's confirmed that Tunisian striker Seifeddine Jaziri's no longer part of his plans for the Egyptian Premier League campaign.

Jaziri was absent from Zamalek’s 1 - 0 victory over Pharco in the 4th round, with Angolan forward Chico Banza scoring the decisive goal.

The Tunisian hasn't featured since Matchday 2 with Ferrera citing "technical reasons" before making his decision clear.

The Belgian coach also reflected on the game itself:

Looking ahead

Zamalek now top the league table with 10 point. Their next fixture's against Wadi Degla on Sunday in Round 5 of the EPL.
