With over eighth months of halting football in Egypt, it was announced on Monday that the domestic competition will not be resumed as initially scheduled on October 17.

While the decision meant that the future of the 2012-2013 season remains in the balance, footballers in Egypt know they will have to wait again.

“First, it’s so difficult for the players,” Bradley told Al-Nahar TV following Tuesday’s friendly defeat against Tunisia in Abu Dhabi.

“When they heard the news yesterday, you could tell they were very emotional and it took a lot out of them.

“It makes our work much more difficult, but of course we are determined and we will continue with camps and friendlies to be ready in March.”

Egypt continue to prepare for their next competitive fixture against Zimbabwe in the World Cup qualifiers in March.
