In the army - no! Zidan back in Dortmund

There has been wild speculation on the whereabouts of Mohammed Zidan, the injured Sheik of Dortmund. The Egyptian army wanted to draft him, which under Egyptian law can be done until you are 30. The 28 year old forward spent his summer in his homeland and when trying to fly back to Dortmund authorites said "No, Mo, sorry but the army is waiting for you". While training for his comeback, Zidan also sorted out business with authorities and always claimed he'd be back in Dortmund by early September. He was right. Today Borussia announced, Mo is free to go. And will leave for Dortmund this weekend. Zidan says: "My knee is fine", the club says, Zidan now will enter stage three of his comeback journey. Club med Dr. Markus Braun will take care of business now and will be in close contact with Jürgen Klopp. Zidan is bound to make his comeback late this year.
