Police in Cairo have arrested three players of Egyptian club Zamalek for reportedly abusing a military officer.
Zamalek trio Mahmoud Abdel-Razik (aka 'Shikabala'), Salah Soliman and Hazem Emam were picked up at Cairo airport and transmitted to Al-Nozha police station on Monday.
Delay
The Zamalek team trip from Hurghada to Cairo has been delayed for over an hour on Monday after the team's star player Shikabala was involved in a personal conflict with an officer at the airport.
-While the Zamalek delegation was at the airport, a pilot officer was at the cafeteria with his wife. The pilot was wearing a red jersey, supporting Zamalek rival Ahly. A verbal dispute occurred between him and Shikabala, developing into a physical confrontation, manager of Hurghada airport, Sami Abdel-Menem told Ahram Arabic gate.
Zamalek fans commented it's -Shikabala's turn for disputes with military in media reports, after Ahly star Mohamed Abou-Treika, who was linked last month to a similar case, denied allegations.
No official statement yet
Zamalek hasn't stated anything officially yet about the Shikabala's incident, but are expected to say something on the matter soon, especially because exaggerated rumours have started to circulate online in blogs and social networks concerning the dispute.
The Cairo-based team was returning from Gouna after winning to South Africa's Orlando Pirates 2-1 on Sunday in round four of the African Champions League group stage.
