CAIRO: Ismaili star Omar Gamal blamed lack of experience for the team s poor start to the league campaign.
Gamal, who is facing several months on the sidelines after knee surgery, believes that the Dervishes don’t have enough depth to make up for key players absence.
The absence of (Mohamed) Hommos and I caused the poor start, in addition to that, some important players left us in the summer, Gamal told FilGoal.com.
We don’t have experienced substitutes who can win games in such conditions.
Trio Mohamed Fadl, Sherif Abdul-Fadil and Mostafa Karim left Ismaili this summer, while midfielder Ahmed Khairi has been struggling with injury.
