Zamalek playmaker Shikabala is set to make his league comeback against Gaish on Thursday, after shaking off a groin problem. The influential midfielder took part in Monday's training session, after he was given the all-clear to get back in action. "Shikabala is ready to make return," Zamalek's chief medic Mostafa Al-Monayeri told FilGoal.com. "If he was kept on the sidelines, it would be for technical reasons." The 23-year-old was injured in the White Knights' 2-2 draw with Arab Contractors last month, and has been out of action ever since. During his lay-off, Shikabala missed Zamalek's 1-0 league win over Ittihad, and Egypt's 1-0 victory at Rwanda in the World Cup qualifying stage. Now Zamalek have only one injured player in Alaa Ali. "Ali will participate in Wednesday's training, but he's definitely ruled out of the clash with Gaish," Al-Monayeri said.
