CAIRO: Mohamed Zidan is expected to lead Hamburg s attack when they take on Bundesliga champions Stuttgart on the weekend, as Huub Stevens team are hit by injuries upfront.
Top scorer Ivica Olic will be out for three weeks after tearing a hamstring against Arminia Bielefeld last weekend, while his usual partner Paolo Guerrero has the flu.
Olic and Guerrero’s successful partnership, which resulted in 16 goals between them so far this term, has given Egypt striker Zidan a hard time at Nordbank Arena.
However, HSV s official site stated that the 25-year-old is likely to get a rare chance in Saturday s crucial game.
Zidan was part of Egypt s 2008 African Cup of Nations squad in Ghana, but has rarely played for the German side since returning.
