Total fitness group's physical trainer Hussain Zinan is helping Ali Ashfaq recover from the knee surgery he under went last month. Ashfaq is currently continuing his rehabilitation under the watchful eye of Zinan.

After the surgery on the 27th of last month it was believed that Ashfaq would return to action in one month time. But Zinan has said that it may take close to two months for Ashfaq to return to full fitness.

Ashfaq was playing in Malaysia with PDRM when he suffered the injury and left the club. After returning to Maldives he spent time with Maziya but missed matches due to injury.

Soon after Ashfaq joined new radiant this year he under went the surgery. Even if Ashfaq returns to full fitness within a month he will not be able to play for blues until the June transfer.

the earliest that Ashfaq will be able to play for blues in the Male' league is against his former side Maziya in the last match of Male' league.
