CAIRO: Essam Al-Hadari will play no part in Ismaili’s remaining league games and is likely to miss the cup campaign as well.

"We want to have our reserve keepers Mohamed Sobhi and Mohamed Fathi ready for cup games," Ismaili goalkeeping coach Ahmed Al-Dahrawi told FilGoal.com.

"We have two games remaining, Sobhi will play one and Fathi will play another, so Al-Hadari will be rested."

Al-Hadari’s debut season in Ismailia has been anything but successful as the Egypt number one was persistently expressing his dismay.

The 37-year-old declared more than once that he wants to return to Ismaili’s bitter rivals Ahli, whom he left shockingly two seasons ago.

He has also been involved in a series of disputes with the Dervishes board, claiming he hasn’t been paid regularly.
