Ahmed Mostafa Zizo set for big return as Al Ahly prepare for Zamalek clash

Ahmed Mostafa Zizo is edging closer to a much-anticipated comeback as Al Ahly get ready for Monday’s showdown with rivals Zamalek at Cairo Stadium in the Egyptian Premier League.

The winger, who has been out with a muscle strain, took part in light training today and is expected to join his teammates fully in group sessions tomorrow. His progress has lifted spirits in the camp, with hopes that he will play a role in the heated ninth-round encounter.

Kooora reports that Zizo, a former Zamalek player, will continue to undergo medical tests to ensure his fitness. However, he has already assured the medical staff that he is ready and eager to feature.

Despite his insistence on returning sooner, the medical team held him back to allow full recovery, showing their caution with such an important player.

Now, with the derby approaching, Zizo’s presence could add extra fire to a fixture that already promises drama, passion, and high stakes for both clubs.
