Ismaili will be without Mohamed Fadl when they face Asyut Petroleum in the Egyptian league on October 26th due to the striker's injury. The squad will be heading to the Southern city on Friday in order to avoid travel exhaustion ahead of the Arab Champions League clash against Al-Bastin on October 29th. Alongside the injured Fadl and Ahmed Al-Gamal, The Dervishes will also be without Ibrahim Saied and Ibrahim Yehia who are both suspended. Meanwhile, club assistant coach Khaled Al-Qammash stated his dismay at the Egyptian Football Association's decision to hold the game during the day. "Asyut are already a tough side to face, especially after their back to back league defeats to Ahli and Petrojet," Al-Qammash told FilGoal.com. "Many games have been played at night in Asyut, and I don't know why this game should be different." Al-Qammash added that his team will be hoping to build on the Masri win when they face the Petroleum side on Sunday. "We want the Masri game to be our start for a good league run." Ismaili are currently fourth in the league with 14 points, while Asyut are lying ninth with nine points.
