Zamalek coach Hossam Hassan granted Hani Saied a reprieve after the Egypt defender apologized for his misconduct.

The 30-year-old initiated a verbal exchange with Hassan a month ago and has been suspended ever since.

But eventually Saied said sorry to have his ban lifted instantly.

"I apologized for what I did. As a professional footballer I had to admit making a mistake," he told FilGoal.com.

"Hassan has accepted my apology and I should take part in Friday's friendly game with Tersana. I will also be participating in the regular training sessions."

Rumor

Saied voiced his dissatisfaction over the way the media exaggerated his falling-out with Hassan over the past weeks.

"What happened was quite normal. Such arguments happen at every club in the world but the press made a big deal out of it," he added.

"I also didn't file a complaint to the Egyptian FA as was reported. I deeply respect Zamalek and would never do this.

"Whoever circulated this rumor should have checked with the FA before spreading it like that."
