Give Me A Goal Feast After Fast

Nov 8 2007

Daily Record

 

HIBS striker Abdessalam Benjelloun is fit and raring to go after completing a second bout of pre-season training.

The Moroccan hasn't featured for the Easter Road men since September 1 after being ruled out by boss John Collins during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan when he fasted during daylight hours.

A minor knee-ligament strain didn't help but the 22-year-old played an hour in the reserves in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to St Mirren and hopes to be face Gretna on Saturday.

Benji said: "I was scared before the reserve game but I am happy to come back. I have been working hard every day, running and going to the gym.

"It was hard to be fasting and injured at the same time.

"I spoke to the gaffer and said I didn't want to play in Ramadan as it would have been difficult with no energy and no food.

"I've had two pre-seasons this year, one in Austria and now I have pre-season again because every day I am running and going to the gym."
