Oday Al-Dabbagh Nears Return to Zamalek Training Ahead of Gouna and Club Africain Matches

Palestinian striker Oday Al-Dabbagh is nearing the end of his absence from Zamalek after making progress in his treatment and rehabilitation programme. He is close to returning to group training after recovering from the injury that recently kept him out of action.

Zamalek's coaching staff hope to have Al-Dabbagh back before the match against Gouna, scheduled for 23 November as part of the ninth round of the Premier League. They are also working to prepare him for the match against Tunisia's Club Africain on 28 November in the CAF Champions League.

Medical examinations revealed that Al-Dabbagh had a grade-one sprain of the medial knee ligament. The source said the expected treatment period ranges from one week to 10 days, depending on his response to the rehabilitation programme under the supervision of the club's medical staff.
