Hossam Ghaly is still waiting for his work permit
so he can take part in Blues matches. Blues revealed
that the Egyptian can make his debut as early as he
get his work permit.
Egyptian midfielder Hossam Ghaly cannot
particiate in Blues games unless the is granted a work
permit. It is expected that the Egyptian will obtain
his work permit before monday and so he can participate
in the friendly versus Oxford United.
The game will be a test for Ghaly as the
Egyptian didn't train with Spurs and also with Blues.
Hossam must impress in the coming friendly so he can
be considered for a spot within the starting eleven
of Birmingham in the Premiership match day one on the
11th of August.
"We need him to get a work permit,
and then up and running," said Bruce. "He's
had one of those stuttering pre-seasons.
"He's been in Birmingham for five days for a start
with all the negotiations and he's not been training,
and Tottenham have been away as well. the Blues coach
added.
"If we can get the work permit by tomorrow, then we've
got a reserve game arranged at Oxford United on Monday and
maybe that could be the first look at him."
