Zamalek SC investigates players over unpaid wage disputes

Zamalek SC is facing internal tension as several players have reportedly protested due to unpaid wages and bonuses. The club's board of directors met to discuss the situation, resulting in the referral of Brazilian player Konrad Michalak Bezerra, Angolan player Chico Banza, and Egyptian player Abdallah El Said for investigation.

Reports indicate that the primary cause of the friction is the delay in financial settlements. While the club has reportedly moved to settle some dues, the inconsistency has caused anxiety regarding future stability. Abdallah El Said has reportedly missed training sessions following a vacation in Greece due to dissatisfaction with unpaid bonuses. While some club members advocate for a conciliatory approach to bring El Said back to training, others have criticized his conduct, suggesting he has not shown proper respect to the institution.

Regarding Bezerra, concerns have been raised about his future with the team, particularly as other clubs have shown interest in his position. The club is currently weighing disciplinary measures against the trio involved in the unrest.
