The Dervishes are yet to receive the trio's international cards from their former clubs, and the players may not be named for the Egyptian Premier League opener.

While Al-Hadari was brought from FC Sion in Switzerland, Abou-Mosallam was purchased from Ajaccio of France. Selliti joined the coastal club from Stade Tunisien.

Despite sending an official request to the French Football Federation (FFF) for Abou-Mosallam's international card, the FFF replied that there is no club in the country carrying the name Ismaili sent.

It is apparent that Ismaili officials misspelled Ajaccio's name when sending for the former Ahli player's card.

Al-Hadari and Selliti's previous clubs are also yet to send Ismaili their international cards.
