Nader Al-Sayed to start against Sydney

Al-Sayed was selected alongside ten other players to practice some special blitzes designed to be applied against the Australian side, FilGoal.com correspondent in Japan said.

Left-winger Gilberto has been ruled out of the game due to injury.

Mohamed Abdul-Wahab is the most likely to replace the Angolan international with Ahmed Abou-Mossalam also ready in this position.

In the defense, Emad Al-Nahas is still doubtful for the game despite taking part in the main training on Thursday.

If the international sweeper won't be available for the game, Shady Mohamed will start with Ahmed Al-Sayed and Wael Gomaa.
