Wait and see in fitness fight for Mido

BORO will leave it until the last minute before deciding whether Mido is fit enough to face former club Tottenham.
The Egyptian striker was forced out of Boro’s defeat to Manchester United at the weekend with a recurrence of the groin strain which has dogged him recently.
The Gazette understands Mido could be struggling to face Spurs in Saturday’s relegation six-pointer at the Riverside as the niggle continues to cause him problems, but Boro are keeping close tabs on the situation.


Mido will fight toback against his former team

We will give him as long as he needs to be fit against his old club,” said Boro first-team coach Colin Cooper.
Boro are hoping to team Mido up with Jeremie Aliadiere again after the Frenchman scored his first goal for the club at Old Trafford on his return from a hamstring injury.
Tuncay Sanli seems set to continue in a roving role behind the former Arsenal man if Mido fails to make it.
“We want Mido back on the pitch as quickly as possible, now that we’ve got Jeremie off the treatment table,” added Cooper.
“Because I think earlier in the season Mido and Jeremie looked as though they could form a decent partnership.”

Mido's The Man To Deliver The Blues

MARK SCHWARZER has called on Mido to spearhead Boro's attack to another famous win at the Riverside tomorrow.
Avram Grant brings his Chelsea side to Teesside knowing full well that Boro's recent Premiership record over the Blues is as good as it gets.
Five goals and six points from the last two home games represents maximum return for Gareth Southgate's men.

And Boro will be hoping for third time lucky with the Egyptian international pulling the strings.
"Whenever any opposition sees him on the team sheet they are going to be concerned," said Schwarzer.
"He does throw himself about, he does cause trouble, he's a very physical player and defenders don't like playing against him because of that reason.

"He's already scored some crucial goals for us. We need a fit Mido on the pitch, as we do with the rest of the players. The sooner we can do that, the sooner we can move up the table."
With Chelsea not in the best of form, the Australian shot stopper knows Boro must take full advantage.
"They haven't played as well as they have previously

"I think they are in a transitional period with their new manager and he's still finding his feet as other players get to understand and realise the sort of football that he wants to play.
"It's going to be difficult for them but they're top quality side and a top quality squad and whatever team they play, it will be a big test for us."

Egypt handed relatively easy draw in ACN ..

Title holders Egypt have been drawn in a relatively easy group of the 2008 African Cup of Nations, sitting in Group C along with Cameroon, Sudan and Zambia.The Pharaohs, who hold the record for the most ACN triumphs with five titles, take on four-time winners Cameroon in the group opener in Kumasi.In the draw that was held in Ghana capital Accra, the hosts were placed in Group A where they will face Guinea, Namibia and Morocco.2006 runners-up Ivory Coast were paired with two-time winners Nigeria, Benin and Mali in Group B.North African giants Tunisia face a tough task against Senegal, Angola and South Africa in Group D.Sigh of reliefEgypt coach Hassan Shehata will breathe a sigh of relief after learning his opponents in Africa's premier competition.

Despite having to face Indomitable Lions Cameroon in their ACN opener, Egypt won't probably face difficulties in their matches against Sudan and Zambia.Sudan have gone from strength to strength lately but the fact that they will appear in the ACN for the first time in 32 years is likely to make their mission difficult.Zambia failed to make it beyond the group stage since qualifying to the quarter-finals in 1996. They were handed a crushing 4-0 defeat to Egypt two years later. Egypt will be looking to replicate the sort of form and spirit that saw them claim the 2006 competition on home soil after defeating Ivory Coast in penalty shootout.

Mido ready for Chelsea ..

THERE was good news from the treatment room this morning ahead of Saturday's game against Chelsea.

Gareth Southgate revealed that Mido is, "back in training," adding, "he has trained this week and provided there is no reaction he should be ready for Saturday."

Egypt to Ghana 2006

Mido didnt play the match

because of injured

Egypt have booked the last ticket to the 2008 African Nations Cup finals with a 1-0 victory over minnows Botswana in the qualifiers Group 2 game on Saturday.Substitute Mohamed Fadl was the hero of the night as his 78th-minute strike proved to be the winner of a one-way traffic contest.The African champions comfortably lead the group with 12 points as all other rivals tie at seven after Mauritania beat Burundi 2-1 in Nouakchott.

Mohamed shawky

Egypt coach Hassan Shehata opted to an ultra-attacking starting line-up, with Amr Zaki, Emad Meteb, Mohamed Zidan and Mohamed Abou-Treika leading the frontline.The home side put pressure on their opposition since the first minute, but without much effect on goal despite some shy attempts from Zaki.

Amr Zaki

Zamalek striker

The under-fire Zamalek striker was unlucky to see his header rattle off the bar in what looked to be Egypt's best chance of the first half.However, the visitors were within a whisker of producing a huge shock when, against the run of play, Richard Bangwe's volley forced a superb save from Essam Al-Hadari.Hosni Abd-Rabou had a chance to open the scoring shortly after the break, but his low shot was cleverly parried by Modiri Marumo.Al-Hadari once again was called into action when he denied a clear on goal Botswana midfielder who was about to punish the Egyptians on the counter.Shehata brought on Fadl at the expense of Meteb ten minutes after the interval, and the Ismaili striker relieved the home fans with his first genuine attempt on goal.Sayed Moawad's fine cross was met by Zaki, who flicked the ball to Fadl, and the latter smashed in a low header to score the only goal of the game.

Young gives Boro backing to Mido

Middlesbrough defender Luke Young believes striker Mido has already had a massive impact at The Riverside and has backed the hit-man to combine with fellow new boy Tuncay Sanli to devastating effect.
Young, who arrived in the North East over the summer himself, is sure the Egyptian striker and Tuncay will help turn Boro’s season around after a poor start for Gareth Southgate’s team

which sees them currently lying in 15th spot.
"I think they'll come up with goals," said Young of the front pair.
"When Mido first came in, he had a big impact straight away and he seemed to settle in quickly. He scored at Fulham and here against Newcastle and played really well, [but] then unfortunately he got injured.
"But I think, in the games he's played, he's shown he really means business. The manager was going to take him off with an injury against Sunderland here, but he wanted to give it a bit longer.
"Perhaps he might have done himself a bit more damage, but he showed he wanted to stay on the pitch and fight for the cause, and I think he has made a massive impact in a short space of time."
The former Charlton and Tottenham full back also believes Turkey international Tuncay will provide the perfect counterpart for Mido.
"I think a big part of Tuncay's game will be assists,” added Young.
“He looks like the striker who will drop off a main front-man and get into holes to make himself difficult for defenders to pick up.
"He plays wide midfield as well. I think he has a great record for Turkey and once he's fit he will be a real bonus for us."

Mido's making an impression at the Riverside

HE’S the self-styled playboy who, with six clubs in as many years, was supposed to be in it for the money.
Yet Mido has stunned everyone with his wholehearted commitment to all things Middlesbrough – including the stiffs.

Having joined the Teessiders in a £6 million move from Tottenham, the Egyptian instantly went about rewriting misconceptions over his reputation with a debut display at Fulham that was totemic in every sense.

A goal against Newcastle and playing through the pain barrier in recent games has only added to the appeal.

And the 24-year-old – who has also played for Ajax, Celta Vigo, Marseille and Roma – was even seen cheering on fellow countryman Mohammed Shawky when the midfielder made his first appearance for the reserves at St James’s Park last month.

Mido’s mad, he’s a top guy and into everything,” said Lee Cattermole, who played alongside Shawky in that 2-0 win over Newcastle’s seconds.
“Everyone gets along with him and I’m glad someone with his personality has come in. We’ve got a good group of lads who he’s mixed in well with.
“All the players who’ve come in are great players and they’ve fitted into the team straight away. I think we’ve got a good spirit.“
