Ismaili playmaker Abdullah Saied revealed his frustration with the recent injury setback that cost him a place in Egypt's squad.

The 25-year-old has been out of action since April due to a metatarsal stress fracture.

Although he is on the verge of making his comeback, Saied conceded that he suffered dearly because of the long-term injury.

"The injury stopped me from joining the national team. I also had some offers to play abroad, but I had to holdup my dreams at last," he told FilGoal.com.

"However, I will not be hasty in my return. I need to have some friendly action before regaining my full match fitness."

Saied was last time called to the Egypt squad in a friendly game against Benin in November.

He is expected to resume full training by the end of the week, but has yet to be declared fit for matches.
