Amr Zaki will miss Wigan Athletic's Premier League game against Newcastle on Saturday due to a hamstring strain. "Wigan's doctor recommended that Zaki be rested for one week," the player's personal adviser Mohamed Saied told FilGoal.com on Friday. "The doctor said he fears Zaki might aggravate the injury if he plays against Newcastle." The in-form striker will also miss Egypt's friendly game against Benin on Wednesday. Egypt coach Hassan Shehata will be left with shortage of options upfront as Middlesbrough striker Mido was also ruled out of the game through injury. Zaki scored eight Premier League goals for Wigan as he lies second in the scorers' chart behind Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka, who netted 10 goals. Although Mido made his most league appearances as a substitute, he is Middlesbrough's top scorer with four goals.
