Saied was subjected to a hearing at the Egyptian FA on Wednesday for skipping Ismaili's trainings without any clear excuse.

"Saied can say what he wants. I wasn’t at the head of the board when he signed for the club but I'm sure Ismaili would never forge any player's contract," Aboul-Hassan told FilGoal.com.

Aboul-Hassan added that the door is still opened for the defender to make an Ismaili comeback.

"We want him back, but he needs to be interrogated and disciplined for missing the trainings first.

No Sacking

In the meantime, Aboul-Hassan confirmed that the board have no intention of sacking Brazilian coach Ricardo.

"I totally understand that our results have not been as good as we wanted.

"But we're in a critical stage of the season and I can't get rid of my coach now. However, I'm planning to sit with Ricardo and find out what he plans for the team."

The Dervishes are currently fourth in the league table with 32 points, seven behind leaders Ahli.
