Devils come down hard on El-Zaher

Egyptian club Al Ahly have suspended promising striker Ahmed Abd El-Zaher and put him on transfer list for making four-fingered hand signal in support of Egypt’s deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi while celebrating his 78th goal against Orlando Pirates in the Caf Champions League return leg final on Sunday.
The 28-year-old, who joined Ahly from ENPPI last January, has apologised for the controversy caused by his action, saying he only intended to show solidarity with one of his friends who died when security forces crushed the Rabaa camp on August 14.
El-Zaher has also been pulled out of the squad to play next month's Fifa Club World Cup in Morocco.
“In light of the club's principles, its firm rejection of mixing politics with sports, its adherence to the regulations of FIFA, and the player's confession that he had made a mistake and that he would accept any punishment, the club has decided the following:
"Suspending the player and banning him from next month's Club World Cup, depriving him of the Champions League triumph rewards and putting him up for sale in the January transfer window,” Ahly said in a statement.
