The report claims that the 26-year-old 'was spotted coming out of Manchester's Cloud 23 bar at 2am yesterday morning' - just 13 hours ahead of the Latics' home defeat to Arsenal.

Even though he was ruled out of the game with injury, Zaki could be involved in a fresh saga, adding to his recent unrest with the Premiership club.

"We are aware he was out in Manchester after finally returning to England," a Wigan spokesman was quoted as saying by the English newspaper.

"He wasn't going to be involved against Arsenal, but again he seems to be showing a blatant lack of respect.

"Our manager, Steve Bruce, will decide over the weekend whether this latest incident represents another breach of discipline."

Zaki made an official apology on Saturday after failing to report back from international duty last week.

However, the Egypt striker, who has been heavily fined for being AWOL, could once again provoke the annoyance of manager Steve Bruce.

The on-loan Zamalek hitman will probably struggle to get a permanent deal at JJB, despite a dazzling start to the season.
