Ahli Qatari forward Hussein Yasser wasn't called up by coach Bruno Mitsu for the country's Asian World Cup qualifier against Japan on Wednesday. Yasser, who has an Egyptian-Qatari dual nationality, has been featuring regularly for the gulf side over the last couple of years. Qatari newspaper Al-Watan put Yasser's elimination down to his non-participation with Ahli in both the African Champions League and the Egyptian League. Beforehand, The Frenchman said he wanted to watch the midfielder play more for the Egyptian champions, adding it would be unlikely to recall him if he didn't get to asses him. The paper assured the midfielder will get back to Qatar's fold if he plays frequently with the five-time African champions.
