French manager Bruno Metsu has chosen 23 players as the Annabi play a warm-up match against Haiti in midweek.

Zamalek forward Yasser was the only player outside the Qatar Stars League in Metsu's roster.

It is believed that the Egyptian club are reluctant to release the 28-year-old for the regional tournament, which is not included in FIFA's international calendar.

Should he join the Qatar squad, Yasser is likely to miss league games against Masri and Ittihad but will be able to feature in the Cairo derby against Ahli on December 31st.

The Yemen finals will be staged from the 22nd of November to the 4th of December.
