Bruce refused to comment on Amr Zaki, who was reported to have been disciplined for returning from a break home to Egypt two days late.
“Whatever happens in the dressing room I’ll keep in-house,” he said. “His daughter has not been well and he’s had a difficult couple of months trying to settle. Today he was back to what the league found exciting about him.”
