Complete Stats of Zizo

After a strong season, which saw him score 9 goals and provide 6 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions, Zizo will undoubtedly be called-up for the Egyptian national team camp for the World Cup qualifiers. The forward might be a good replacement for Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah who will most probably miss Egypt’s games after the Premier League’s decision to not allow various players from going on international duty.
