CAIRO: Borussia Dortmund forward Mohamed Zidan is sad not to be part of the Egypt setup, but feels he made the right decision skipping last month s friendly with Guinea.
Zidan s decision not to answer the Egypt call-up sparked intense speculation over his loyalty to the national team, which eventually saw him ruled out by coach Hassan Shehata.
However, the 27-year-old believes he made the right choice when he preferred his club over the exhibition game, conceding that he hoped to help Egypt in the World Cup qualifiers.
It makes me sad that I can t be there in the decider of the World Cup qualifiers. I wanted to help my country against Zambia, Zidan told Ruhrnachrichten.
But finally I feel I made the right decision because I had a place to fight for with Dortmund.
