Strasbourg President: "Abd-Rabboh Still Ours!"

Date: 4-8-2005
Wrote: EP's reporter Islam Issa

Egon Gindorf spoke to French media stating that despite Hosny Abd-Rabboh having military troubles back in Egypt, the midfielder will be at the French club, if not this season, then next season.


"If he does not come this year, he will be for next summer," said the club President.

Strasbourg are also reported to have asked for a final statement from Egypt regarding the player's situation.

Meanwhile, coach Jacky Duguépéroux has less patience on the issue. He has apparently given an ultimatum to Ismaily, and requested a final response by Monday evening.


The manager added that he fails to bring Abd-Rabboh in immediately, he has another plan. Phillipe Thys, ex-Strasbourg player and current scout who followed Abd-Rabboh since 2003, will complete a plan which they know well.

"The player could arrive before the weekend," commented Duguépéroux.
