Yasser, who scored in each of his last two games against Ahli, is away on international duty with Qatar and is set to miss out on facing his former club this week.

“Of course Yasser is an important player and unfortunately we will miss him against Ahli,” explosive winger Emam told FilGoal.com.

“But I ready to deputize for him and I promise that his absence won’t be felt. I am very excited for the match and I hope to score against Ahli.”

Emam, who struggled with personal problems last season, hasn’t been playing regularly for Hossam Hassan’s side this term as well.
