CAIRO: Ahly under-fire goalkeeper Amir Abdel-Hamid is ready to accept any action against him, following his recent spat with manager Hossam Al-Badri.

The outcast keeper engaged in an angry conversation with Al-Badri after being dropped from the team s squad facing Mansoura.

Consequently, Ahly decided to fine Abdel-Hamid and suspend him until further notice.

I am ready to accept any punishment from the club because it’s a matter of time before I leave, Abdel-Hamid told FilGoal.com.

In nearly 10 years with Ahly, I have never been involved in a problem and I don’t want to cause any problems before I go.

I hope fans can pardon me because it has been very difficult for me recently.

Abdel-Hamid, who was tipped to succeed Essam Al-Hadari as Ahly s number one last season, went down the pecking order after some shaky performances this year.

The 30-year-old is now almost certain to leave the Red Devils, but has yet to reveal his next destination.

I will either head to the US in the winter break or I ll join another Egyptian league team, he added.

Ahly goalkeeping coach Ahmed Nagi recently revealed that the Cairo club are looking to add another goalkeeper to their squad, implying that Abdel-Hamid s days with the team are numbered.
