Blues striker Ali Al-Hamadi has reportedly asked to be left out of Iraq’s games during the upcoming international window.

According to IQ PRO, the 22-year-old is feeling some pain from an old injury, with subsequent reports claiming he requires an injection, and asked to be rested for the World Cup qualifiers against the Philippines in Basra and then in Manila on March 21st and 26th.

Al-Hamadi has previously won 12 senior caps and has scored three international goals.

Meanwhile, skipper Sam Morsy has been left out of the Egypt squad for their March fixtures.

Iraq: Jalal Hassan, Ahmed Basil, Mohammed Salih, Rebin Sulaka, Zaid Tahseen, Munaf Yunis, Frans Putros, Saad Natiq, Mustafa Saadoun, Hussein Ali, Merchas Doski, Dhurgham Ismail, MID: Amir Al-Ammari, Safaa Hadi, Osama Rashid, Zidane Iqbal, AbdulRazzaq Qassim, Luay Al-Ani, Ali Jasim, Bashar Resan, Montader Madjed, Hassan AbdulKarim, Ibrahim Bayesh, Ahmed Yasin, Youssef Amyn, Mohanad Ali, Aymen Hussain.

Radlett_blue added 11:15 - Mar 11 Agreed Missing - Al-Hamadi seems like a player who is really keen to improve. He isn't the finished article yet, but at 22 he should have plenty of improvement in him.

WeWereZombies added 16:23 - Mar 11 Not wishing to criticise Phil but it does seem slightly unfair that the entire Iraqi squad is listed but the Egypt one isn't...

SpiritOfJohn added 17:21 - Mar 11 Maybe we should get someone to take a look at the other Egyptian midfielders, they must be a talented bunch to keep Morsy out of the squad.
