Ismaili boss Mark Wotte is adamant that the absence of star striker Godwin Ndubuisi will not impede the Dervishes in their next game with Wadi Degla. Godwin picked up a fourth yellow card in the recent win at Ittihad and will miss the home game, with Mohamed Abou-Greisha likely to step in. “Godwin is an important player but I think it won't be a big problem,” Dutchman Wotte told FilGoal.com. “We have three other strikers and now Abou-Greisha is fit to play.” Ismaili, who impressively beat Ahli and Ittihad, will be looking for their third straight win as they aim for the top three. “Despite our recent wins, I am focusing on the negative factors with the players,” added Wotte.
“I think if we win our next two games, we will seriously be back on track for the title challenge.” Saied contract Meanwhile, Ismaili are looking to keep hold of on-fire midfielder Abdullah Saied, who scored three sensational goals in his last three games. “We know that Saied's form could attract interest from other clubs, but he is indispensible,” said board member Walid Al-Kilani. “There has been unofficial interest from UAE'S Wehda and we expect an offer to be made soon. “But like our other stars, we want to wrap up Saied's contract in the near future.” Saied's current contract runs out by the end of next season.
