Two defensive midfielders that were expected to make European debuts look like they'll be playing in the Egyptian Dawry next season. Egyptian newspapers have indicated that Hosny Abd-Rabboh will not be a Strasbourg player.

Hosny will not wear Strasbourg's jersey next season!

As EP reported and covered, Abd-Rabboh had been informed of serious problems with regards to his military service. As a result, his move to Strasbourg may have been scrapped completely.

A paper added that Al-Ahly are now following the player's availability, and are looking to offer Ismaily a fee that will secure his services at the Red Tribe.

On the other hand, a rumour stated that the French outfit Strasbourg followed the cancellation of Abd-Rabboh's deal with an enquiry into the availability of Ahly's Mohamed Shawky.
