After picking up the injury during Zamalek's friendly against Menouf two weeks ago, Abdullah was earlier expected to be out for three weeks.

"We are rehabilitating the player to take part against ENPPI, that's why we let him train after his knee felt better," club doctor Mostafa El-Monayeri told FilGoal.com.

Meanwhile, Abdulla denied that the club is suffering any dressing room rifts, adding that any training spat is just a result of over players' enthusiasm.

"When I was at Ahli, we sometimes had bigger spats over there and no one used to talk about them."

"Somehow the media seems to be only interested in exaggerating Zamalek's problems," Abdullah bitterly added.
