Zamalek playmaker Mahmoud Abdul-Razeq 'Shikabala' is set to return to action on Monday after serving a six-month suspension.

He will feature for Zamalek youth team against Harras Al Hodoud, ending his lengthy layoff.

The court of arbitration for Sports banned the 22-year-old midfielder and fined him 990,000 euros for making an illegitimate move from Greek side PAOK to Zamalek in January 2007.

Shikabala is set to make his first-team comeback against Arab contractors in the Egyptian League on November 7th.

The Cairo-based side called on the world governing body FIFA to allow him to play on Sunday, the last day of his suspension, but their request was met with a flat refusal.

Zamalek slumped on Sunday to a humiliating 3-1 loss to Olympic in the Egyptian League.
