Ittihad coach Taha Basri is looking to take advantage of Petrojet's several absentees when both sides meet in the Egyptian League on Sunday. "We should capitalize on Petrojet's unfortunate circumstances. Securing all three points would be vital for us," Basri told FilGoal.com on Friday. "We are also motivated to continue our recent fine results following our morale-boosting victory over Telecom Egypt." Egyptian League surprise package Petrojet will have to do without several regular players. Osama Mohamed, Hesham Al-Noubi and Ahmed Shaaban are all out through suspension. League top scorer Alaa Ibrahim, who scored 14 goals so far, is doubtful due to injury, just like defender Amr Hassan. On the other hand, Ittihad welcome back Rami Saied and Hossam Abdul-Moneim, who have been out through groin and shoulder problems respectively. Alexandria-based club Ittihad will be looking to ease their relegation worries as they lie second from bottom on 17 points. Petrojet are second in the table with 36 points as they aim to cement their position as runners-up in order to play in the Champions League next season.
