Berlin, Aug 29, IRNA -- Iranian football
international and Hamburger SV forward Mehdi Mahdavikia will return in the
starting line-up for this Saturday's first round elimination cup encounter
with amateur club FC Schoenberg, the bi-weekly kicker sports magazine
reported Thursday.
Mahdavikia played a series of warm-up matches for Hamburger SV's amateur
squad to get into playing shape following his long recovery from a
complicated disc surgery performed in February.
The ex-Pirouzi striker whose contract runs until 2004, played his last
match on February 16 during Hamburg's 2-1 loss at Borussia
Moenchengladbach.
