Zidan left training because of injury

 

According to BVB.de, the official page of Borussia Dortmund, Mohamed Zidan had to leave today's training because of suffering from irritation of the medial collateral ligament.

This could explain the reason beyond Zidan's decision to stay in Germany and not join the rest of his teammates in the national team. However, in such cases, the club have to contact the Egyptian FA officially to inform them about the player's injury, a thing that didn't happen by the looks of it.


National team staff tried to reach the player via his cell phone but the player had his mobile phone closed and so, Shehata decided to exclude him from his short term plans.

According to Shawky Gharib, the assistant manager of the Egyptian national team, the NT staff contacted Zizou's club asking for clarification regarding his absense since all the attempts to reach the player via his phone numbers failed. Gharib said:

"They (Borussia Dortmund officials) informed us that Zidan is having an injury, this is why he didn't travel to Egypt".

"It is clear now that he has a valid reason beyond his absence but we are still unhappy about the player's behavior which lacks professionalism".

"A professional player won't be unreachable at the time of international duties. We should be able to reach him but he kept all his mobile phones closed". He added.

Despite this behaviour from Zizou, it is yet to be seen iof the player will be punished or not.
