Essam Al-Hadari is doubtful for the Egypt's trip to Botswana due to a right knee injury, the national team assistant coach said. "Al-Hadari will undergo tests on Tuesday to determine whether he will be fit for the game in Botswana or not," Shawki Gharib told FilGoal.com late on Monday. The Ahli goalkeeper picked up a knock late in his side's 2-0 victory over ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast on Sunday in the African Champions League semis. He limped on the pitch during the remaining five minutes and was playing with his left foot instead because of pain. If Al-Hadari was ruled out of Saturday's game, either Zamalek's Mohamed Abdul-Monsef or ENPPI's Mostafa Kamal will be starting in the African Cup qualifier. Al-Hadari played all six games in Egypt's campaign towards the African Cup title in Cairo in February. He was also named the tournament's best keeper. Egypt are second in Group B of the qualifiers after crushing Burundi 4-1 in the group opener, trailing Mauritania on goal difference.
