Sporting Lisbon's coach Leonardo Jardim said on Thursday it's not likely that team's Egyptian winger Mahmoud 'Shikabala' Abdel-Razek will appear with the Portuguese side soon, adding he needs more time to feature in the team's line-up.

The Egyptian winger who joined Sporting Lisbon, last month, was injured in his debut for the Portuguese team in the B side's 1-0 defeat against Tondela on Monday.

"I said earlier that Shikabala needs around four weeks to feature in the team's line-up," Jardim said in a news conference on Thursday.

"He was injured and he needs another two weeks for rehabilitation."
