Hegazi: West Bromwich Albion defender close to full fitness – Bilic

West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic has confirmed Ahmed Hegazi is close to fully recover from his injury.

The 28-year-old suffered an ankle injury towards the end of the 2018-19 season but played through the wound, featuring in 41 games.

Hegazi also featured for Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in the summer before he had a surgery in July to prevent the recurrence of the injury.
