Ismailia – Yasser El-Sherif: Ismaili boss Theo Buecker insisted that he will do his best to steer his players clear from the tensed-up general atmosphere anticipated in the club given the upcoming board elections. “I will try to keep my players away from the club elections, but I'm sure they will be affected anyway. I'm astonished at what the board are doing in this period,” Buecker told Filgoal.com. Club president Abdel-Moenem Emara had resigned from his post a couple of days ago with disclosing behind the real reasons behind the decision. On the other hand, Ismaili vice president Raafat Abdul-Azim announced that he will, along with other board members, hold a press conference on Monday to reveal the reasons behind Emara's resignation, in addition to all the details of the club's plans for the coming period. Ismaili are scheduled to face Arab Contractors on Wednesday in the Egyptian league round-18 match, without a host of their key players who were called up to the national military team. Ismaili managed to grab 10 points from their last four matches, but still reside at sixth place with a tally of 23 points.
