Even though the funny incident precedes a tough tie for the bottom club, the Ittihad management confirmed there will be no action against the players.

“There will be no punishment on players. What happened was just a little joke between colleagues,” Ittihad staff member Mohamed Bastawi told FilGoal.com.

“We cannot put players behind bars during camps. Actually these funny incidents can ease some of the tension before big games.”

Ittihad will be facing a tough challenge against defending champions Ahli as they hope to build on their recent victory over Masri; their first this year.
