Egypt will probably turn down Jordan's proposal for a friendly game in August, according to goalkeeping coach Zaki Abdul-Fattah. Jordan boss Hossam Hassan, who has been installed last month, announced a day ago that his side requested a friendly meeting with Egypt as part of the preparations for an upcoming Asian Cup qualifier in August. Although they are also preparing for the World Cup qualifiers this year, Egypt are set to reject the proposal citing the timing of the game, which is scheduled for August 6 or 9, among other reasons. "Coach Bob Bradley refused playing the game for several reasons," Abdul-Fattah told Almasryalyoum newspaper. "Firstly, it would be difficult to recall Ahli and Zamalek players who take part in the Champions League plus our foreign-based players who wouldn't be easily released by their European clubs. "The game is also not included in FIFA's international calendar for friendly matches. "Moreover, we are about to agree on a friendly meeting with Mali in Morocco on August 14." Egypt, who top Group G on 15 points from five matches in their World Cup qualifying campaign, have secured a place in the final playoff before facing Guinea in a game to spare on September 6. Bradley's team are looking to improve their FIFA ranking ahead of Africa's final qualifying phase draw, which seeds teams according to their position in the table.
