Zaki in more hot water with Wigan management

Wigan Athletic striker Amr Zaki is in more hot water with management.

The Sunday Mirror says Zaki is facing another hefty fine - after going on a late night bender on his return to England.

The Egyptian international striker was spotted coming out of Manchester's Cloud 23 bar at 2am Saturday morning - just 13 hours before the Latics faced Arsenal.

Zaki was fined two weeks' wages for failing to report back from international duty with Egypt last week.

Wigan are unlikely to pay the £6m deal to make his loan deal from Zamelek permanent at the end of the season after a series of disciplinary scrapes.

Zaki wasn't in the squad to face Arsenal yesterday. But a spokesman for Wigan said: "We are aware he was out in Manchester after finally returning to England.

"He wasn't going to be involved against Arsenal, but again he seems to be showing a blatant lack of respect.

"Our manager, Steve Bruce, will decide over the weekend whether this latest incident represents another breach of discipline."
