Black - Zaki is disrespectful

Wigan assistant manager Eric Black has accused AWOL striker Amr Zaki of being 'disrespectful' to the club. Zaki has infuriated Latics boss Steve Bruce after failing to return to the club from international duty with Egypt.Bruce revealed the latest incident is the fourth time the on-loan star has failed to report back on time after representing Egypt.Zaki has failed to show for training even though compatriot Mido was able to return on time from also playing for Egypt.Bruce launched a scathing attack on Zaki and Black has backed the manager's blast revealing the club are still in the dark about his whereabouts."Most of the players were told to report back and certainly he was meant to be back on Monday," Black told Sky Sports News."He [Zaki] was meant to be back on Monday, obviously that hasn't materialised and we will just have to wait and see when he does return."We had initial contact about the hamstring injury after the game and obviously we have spoken to Mido, who arrived back on Monday, so we are led to believe he has a hamstring injury and he is being treated for that, but that's as much as we know at the moment."Asked if Zaki should have returned to Wigan for treatment on the injury, Black added: "In an ideal scenario that is the way we would go forward with it. "Sometimes we do allow them to stay in their own country to have treatment, obviously when permission has been given, but that has not been the case."I think his [Bruce's] statement would suggest he is far from happy and I can fully understand and agree with what he is saying. "It is pretty disrespectful to the group and to the manager and to the club and to the supporters so the manager has obviously dealt with it in the right manner."
