The Egypt international has been training solely for a month in order to regain full fitness as he is now set to return to general training after the visit to Tanzania’s Young Africans.

“Mido informed me that he managed to reach a normal level of weight and he is now in ideal shape after completing his diet program,” Zamalek assistant coach Ismail Youssef said.

Mido could now be fit for the Champions League return leg against Young Africans, who host the Whites on Saturday.

Since re-joining Zamalek last year, the 28-year-old could only make a couple of second-half appearances in the league, even so he managed to find the net on both occasions.
