Harras Hodoud were dealt a blow with the news that goalie Ali Farag has picked up a thigh injury and now he's doubtful for Monday's league match against Masri. "We are trying to get him ready for the game, but it's a long shot," Hodoud assistant coach Abou-Taleb Al-Essawi told FilGoal.com. Farag is the only capable keeper within the Military outfit's ranks, and thus the technical staff will face an unenviable situation should he be ruled out of the match. The 26-year-old suffered a knock in training when he collided with Hodoud captain Mohamed Halim, who also sustained a calf strain. The Alexandrian side's squad is already riddled with injuries, with Pape Latyr N'Diaye, Mohamed Mekki and Fadi Nagah on the sidelines. Ahmed Eid is also unavailable through suspension.
