Zamalek's Abdul-Ghani back in two weeks

Abdul-Ghani suffers from a broken arm and undergoes a special fitness program to get him ready for playing once the bone heals.

"It is getting better everyday and I am not feeling pain anymore while practicing," Abdul-Ghani told FilGoal.com.

"I can get back now but I prefer not to rush myself to avoid any complications. I will be 100% ready in ten days."

Zamalek missed Abdul-Ghani's efforts during the 1-1 draw with Asyut Petroleum in their last league match.

Coach Manuel Cajuda started with only one holding midfielder in Mohamed Aboul-Ella alongside playmakers Magdi Atwa and Awuley Quay 'Junior' till Zamalek conceded the first goal.

The Portuguese manager was forced to field Ahmed Abdul-Raouf after the break to fill the midfield void and the youngster excelled in his first appearance for Zamalek.

With Abdul-Ghani almost back and veteran midfielder Tamer Abdul-Hamid back from suspension, Abdul-Raouf still confident he will be playing again for the first team.

"Of course the absence of Abdul-Ghani and Abdul-Hamid paved the road for me to take part with the first team," he told FilGoal.com.

"But now after I have passed my first test, I will hold on to the chance."
