Wigan manager Steve Bruce is furious at Amir Zaki’s
continued absence from the club.
The Egyptian striker has not arrived back in Wigan since going
on international duty with Egypt nine days ago.
The 25-year-old is believed to have injured a hamstring playing -
and scoring - for his country against Zambia last Sunday, but Bruce
is still perplexed by the situation.
“I’ve had contact with his agent but it is staggering what is
going on and he is showing the utmost disrespect to his
team-mates,” said Bruce. “I don’t know where he is. Maybe in
Egypt.”
Zaki, on loan from Egyptian outfit El Zamalek, is the club’s top
scorer this season with 10 top-flight strikes. However, his
future at the club is now in serious doubt following his latest
mystery disappearance.
“Has he played his last game for us? Who knows?” Bruce said. “If
we’re not careful, the lunatics will soon be running the asylum and
then we’ll all be in trouble.”
