Harras Hodoud will have to do without first-choice keeper Mathurin Kameni when they face Bayelsa United in the Confederation Cup due to the death of his son. The Cameroonian flew to his homeland after receiving the unfortunate news to add to coach Tarek Al-Ashri's worries, two days before the crucial encounter in Nigeria. There are just 16 players at Al-Ashri's disposal as Egyptian international defender Ahmed Saied 'Ouka' also pulled out after his father was injured in a car accident. Hodoud will also miss Mohamed Al-Herda and Abdul-Salam Nagah, who are injured, and suspended duo Ahmed Eid and Islam Al-Shater. "I will try to call up Ouka because I have very limited options now," Al-Ashri told FilGoal.com. Hodoud can not afford to lose any points if they are to reach the Confederation Cup semi final. They lie third in Group B with four points, three behind second-placed Primeiro Agosto and four adrift of leaders Stade Malien with two matches remaining. The group winners and runners-up will book a last-four berth in Africa's secondary competition.
