Zamalek suspend striker Nasser Mansi and open inquiry over conduct after winning goal
Egypt's Zamalek announced on Saturday that head coach Moamen Gamal has suspended striker Nasser Mansi from group training and referred him to an internal investigation. The move follows his conduct after scoring the winning goal against Rwanda's Army side in the CAF Champions League. Al Jazeera reports that the player had already been fined before this decision.
Why it matters
Zamalek is among the most widely followed clubs in the Arab world and Africa, so a disciplinary case involving a key striker could affect its selection options in the continental campaign. The decision also signals a strict approach to player conduct.
