CAIRO: Zamalek defender Mahmoud Fathallah will resume full training by mid-October, according to chief medic Mostafa Al-Monayeri.

The Egypt defender dislocated his shoulder ahead of the recent World Cup qualifier in Rwanda and has been ruled out ever since.

Fathallah should train with his teammates by mid-October. He will train alone until he fully recovers from injury, Al-Monayeri told Zamalek s official site.

Fathallah is Zamalek s joint top scorer with two goals, courtesy of crucial strikes against ENPPI and Arab Contractors.
