Mahdavikia declared fit for upcoming match against Werder Bremen

Berlin, Aug 14, IRNA -- Iranian football international and Hamburger SV forward Mehdi Mahdavikia on Wednesday was declared fit and could play in this weekend's match at Werder Bremen, the team's press service announced. Mahadvikia completed a full training session with the pro-team and did not feel any pain as a result of a back surgery performed on
him last February. The Iranian star played 56 minutes last Sunday for Hamburg's third division amateur club in its 1-1 draw against SV Babelsberg.
The game was aimed at catching up on Mahdavikia's playing time following his long recovery from a complicated disc surgery.
Mahdavikia whose contract runs until 2004, played his last match for Hamburg on February 16 during his squad's 2-1 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
