"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.
