CAIRO: Amr Zaki will start rehabilitation for his thigh injury next week, according to Zamalek doctor Mostafa Al-Monayeri.

Amr was supposed to rest for three weeks before starting his rehab, two weeks passed and he should start jogging next week, Al-Monayeri was quoted by Zamalek s official site.

Zaki was injured in Egypt s 3-1 defeat in Algeria earlier this month, which forced him to miss his nation s Confederations Cup campaign in South Africa.

The 26-year-old should join Zamalek s pre-season training by the start of July, but is expected to move abroad before the next season.

Zaki, who finished a turbulent spell at Wigan Athletic in May, insisted he will not play in Egypt this year.
