CAIRO: Ismaili are not seeking to sign a new goalkeeper following the exit of Essam Al-Hadari to Zamalek, goalkeeping coach Ahmed Al-Dahrawi believes.
Al-Hadari, Egypt’s number one, has been first choice keeper last season, with Mohamed Sobhi and Mohamed Fathi backing up.
While Sobhi is poised to step in for the position between the sticks, the Dervishes seem to have enough depth in the goalkeeping department.
"The team does not need a new goalkeeper," Al-Dahrawi told FilGoal.com.
"I believe we have two young goalkeepers (Mohamed Auad and Mohamed Mosaad) with excellent potential and we can rely on them in the future."
Meanwhile, Fathi sustained a minor calf injury in Ismaili’s pre-season, but should be back within one week.
