Petrojet boss Mokhtar Mokhtar stressed during a meeting with his players on the importance of their last Egyptian Premier League game against ENPPI on May 21st.

Mokhtar's team will have to secure at least fourth place if they are to claim a CAF Confederation Cup berth.

Petrojet lie fifth with 48 points, and they would leapfrog ENPPI and Haras Hodoud to take third place in the league table should they pull off a victory in the upcoming match.

"Mokhtar met with his players and emphasized that registering a win in the next game is a matter of the utmost importance," football director Mounir Kamel told FilGoal.com.

"We are seeking to qualify for the Confederation Cup, and end the season in the best possible way.

"Last term we finished in fifth place, and we hope we to end this year's campaign in a better position."

ENPPI are one point ahead of Petrojet, and Hodoud lie third on 50 points.

Mokhtar will have midfielder Mahmoud Abdul-Hakim and striker Al-Sayed Hamdi at his disposal, after the pair overcame their injuries.

However, Petroje's Mohamed Shaaban will miss the game through suspension.
