Ismaili goalie Essam Al-Hadari will take no part in his side's upcoming game at Masri in the Egyptian Premier League due to injury.

The Egypt keeper is suffering from backache and will need to rest for a while to recover.

"Al-Hadari got backache during training, and thus couldn't make the squad for Wednesday's game," Ismaili chief medic Magdi Al-Baz told FilGoal.com.

Mohamed Sobhi, who plays second fiddle to Al-Hadari, is expected to make his first competitive appearance this season to fill the void between the sticks.

Sobhi used to be Ismaili's first-choice custodian over the past years, but he lost his regular spot after Al-Hadari was landed at the coastal club last summer.

Dervishes' defender Abdullah Al-Shahat was also ruled out of the league game with a hamstring tear, which he sustained against Ahli last weekend.
